The segregation of Roma children in schools is a serious issue in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It is a violation of human rights and of EU principles. It also obstructs communication and interaction between groups, which tends to lead to increased suspicion, distrust, and hostility. Although it is illegal and unethical, it is still the reality for too many Roma children in this part of Europe.
