Childhood in the Romany community: an exploratory analysis of segregated schools

Keywords: School segregation, children's rights, Romany ethnicity, education, social policy, social inequality

Abstract

This study questions the way in which the right to education and childcare of Romani boys and girls in a situation of exclusion and school segregation in the province of Alicante (Spain) is affected. It uses a phenomenological design to find out the perception of children and professionals, taking as variables: segregated and non-segregated school. Although school segregation is an undesired fact nowadays, it is treated in a fragmentary and discontinuous way, if not ignored with an apparent indolence.
