The right to education and minority language
Fernand de Varennes
"Minority language education is more of an asset than a liability when understood and applied properly. It is not a right which is applicable in every situation where one individual simply demands it. It is rather a result that is consistent with the values of respect for diversity, tolerance and accommodation - rather than rejection - of differences which have become cornerstones of most democratic societies."

The education of Roma children: inroads to good practice, the REI example
Christina McDonald
"Education is one of the most important vehicles by which the integration of minorities into mainstream society can be promoted. In the case of the Roma, it has special importance, since exclusion from society causes social deprivation."

Education, education, and more education
Lilla Farkas
"Education is the single most important issue to be resolved in a State where the advancement of the impoverished is taken even half-seriously."
