OSI Publication: Monitoring Education for Roma

A Statistical Baseline for Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe

December 2006

In response to the fundamental lack of accurate information on Roma in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, and in the interests of promoting education justice for Roma, the Education Support Program of OSI presents its publication, Monitoring Education for Roma: A Statistical Baseline for Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe, the most readily available data on Roma education in these regions.

The statistical baseline was collated at the beginning of the Decade of Roma Inclusion to allow for monitoring of improvements on key education indicators for Roma over the course of that 10-year program. The current information demonstrates just how far behind the Roma are in the area of education; how much work and commitment is required of governments to bridge the education gap between Roma and majority populations in these regions; and what daunting challenges remain, even in the most committed countries, to achieving the Decade’s goals in education.

The inadequacy of the available information is plainly apparent in the table, the International Comparative Dataset on Roma Education, and the methodological challenges presented by attempting such a set of (roughly) comparative data were considerable. Nevertheless, the statistical baseline is an unprecedented compilation, which collates information from 19 countries and provides the clearest, most accurate image yet of Roma participation across a broad range of key education indicators, including enrollment and completion in primary, secondary, and tertiary education.

The document is available on OSI’s website.

Interested persons may also contact Christina McDonald, project manager and editor, who is also a consultant for the current EUMAP monitoring on education for Roma.
