19.09.2016. Recent report from the Council of Europe’s Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities finds that “Alarmingly, discrimination of Roma children has deepened, in particular as a result of the approach of “benevolent segregation” promoted by the authorities by which Roma children are expected to ‘catch up’ in separate Roma classes before their supposed inclusion in the mainstream education.” Hungary is urged by the report to end “as a matter of urgency and without further delay” practices that lead to the continued segregation of Roma children at school; and take immediate action to combat manifestations of intolerance, racism, xenophobia and hate speech.
