Romowie i edukacja: czeskie i słowackie rozwiązania
Abstract
The text focuses on analytical opinions of politicians about the education of Romany children and
on comparing democratization in education with autocratism when trying to solve the so-called
Romany problem. The idea of establishing boarding schools for Romany children is an example
of a non-systemic and unilateral solution. According to certain European and domestic politicians,
this method is a positive solution. However, the author and many specialists in Romology
believe that this approach is discriminatory and assimilative as it is not compatible with the
traditions of the Romany culture or the principles of humanist and democratic pedagogy. As an
alternative to unilateral formations, let us mention the project of an all-day educational system
that has been developing in Slovakia with the support of European funds at the Methodological
Center in Prešov.
