"Romani children in the Czech Republic suffer discrimination in the enjoyment of their right to education.
In November 2007, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that discriminatory placement in special schools violated the right of Romani children to education. The government was obliged to adopt corrective measures. Two years later, however, the discrimination continues.
The discrimination takes many forms, including through the overrepresentation of Romani children in schools for pupils with “mild mental disabilities” (now called practical elementary schools) and through their segregation in Roma-only schools and classes - offering education of lower quality. This limits their future education and employment opportunities."/Amnesty
