Germany: Sinti and Roma children suffer discrimination DW 04/02/2025
Briefly

A recent study has unveiled systemic discrimination against Sinti and Roma children within the German education system, detailing severe instances of bullying and lack of support from teachers. Children face threats of removal from their families due to attendance issues prompted by bullying. Some educators suggest special needs placements based on unfounded claims of developmental delays. The Managing Director of an antiziganism reporting center, Guillermo Ruiz, emphasizes the alarming number of unreported incidents and the failure of schools to serve as safe environments for these children.
Guillermo Ruiz stated, 'It's alarming how often teachers do not intervene to prevent bullying and physical attacks. We hear of such incidents every day although schools should be a safe space.'
Reports highlight numerous instances of discrimination against Sinti and Roma children in German schools, with teachers often perpetuating the bullying rather than intervening.
