Despite a growing consensus on the rights of minorities in Europe, the precise nature of EU policy on minority rights in education is unclear, as this overview of the subject shows. The report provides a conceptual framework for minority rights in and through education and includes an analytical review of legal and practical developments in four countries involved in negotiations with the European Union. The result highlights huge divergence in practice in minority education, and a lack of clarity in just what the EU promotes. xAnnotated papers-ALL > Annotated papers-Roma Exclusion ipfwgweb Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:25:11 GMT http://www.econ.core.hu/doc/bwp/bwp/bwp0508.pdf The Roma – Non-Roma educational gap, which was substantial but slowly closing in the communist years, widened after the collapse of the communist system in Hungary.
