Approximately 250 Roma students attend the Vuk Karadžić Elementary School in Niš, highlighting the issue of educational segregation as nearly all students belong to the same ethnic community.

Despite various initiatives, the long-standing problem of educational segregation persists, with the school’s location near a Roma settlement contributing to the high percentage of Roma students.

The focus should be on ensuring desegregation and equal educational opportunities for all children, rather than simply relocating Roma students from the school.
