Equal Access to Quality Education for Roma - Poster - Small

The monitoring project on Equal Access to Quality Education for Roma was established in 2005. It is carried out in co-operation with the ESP (Education Support program) and RPP (Roma Participation Program) of the Open Society Institute.

The monitoring follows up on previous EUMAP reports on Roma in eight Central and Eastern European countries (2001-2002) and follow-up reports on individual issues like the local implementation of the Romanian Government Strategy for the Improvement of the Condition of Roma (2004) and the situation of Sinti and Roma women and girls in Germany (2004).

The monitoring of Equal access to quality education for Roma incorporates four main goals:

- To assess the implementation of government education policies for Roma
- To provide data on key education indicators
- To promote consultation with Roma communities on education issues
- To establish a framework for regular monitoring throughout the Decade of Roma Inclusion

The monitoring concentrates on primary and secondary education (up to age 18), but also assesses pre-school education. Each country report contains a set of specific recommendations aimed at the national government, local authorities, intergovernmental bodies and other actors. These recommendations will form the basis for sustained advocacy promoting the development of improved educational policy for Roma. The reports are prepared in close collaboration with local partners in each of the countries.
