Right now in Slovakia Romani children are being placed in segregated schools and classes. They’re being put there solely because they are Roma. These schools and classes often offer inferior education, which means these children are being denied a real chance in life. Instead of school being a place of learning and development they are in schools that set them up for a future of humiliation and stigma based on their ethnicity. The discrimination and segregation of children in schools is wrong. It is also prohibited under international human rights law and European Union law. amnesty.org/en/appeals-for-action/End-school-segregation
