Racial segregation remains a significant issue in Slovakian schools, particularly affecting the Roma community, where a majority of Roma children are educated in segregated environments. These schools often feature overcrowding, lower expectations, and inadequate support, perpetuating a cycle of discrimination and inequality. Despite claims that segregation is temporary or based on various justifications, the reality shows a persistent marginalization of Roma. Activists claim education could pave the way for improved societal inclusion, yet the current system continues to hinder equal opportunities for the Roma population, reinforcing long-standing societal biases and poverty.
In Slovakia, racial segregation in schools persists, with over 60% of Roma children attending schools where they are a majority, faced with overcrowding and lower academic expectations.
The rebranding of segregation into segregated Roma schools has not improved conditions, leading to higher dropout rates and systemic barriers to education and societal integration.
