Description
In recent years, a number of experiments have been undertaken in Hungary with alternative approaches to secondary school education for Roma children. This report examines six different institutions which have aimed at helping Roma children make the transition from basic to secondary school, and improving their performance and future opportunities in education and on the labor market. The purpose of this report was to document and examine the experiences of these secondary schools in Hungary in improving the academic achievement of Roma secondary school students and increasing job and university placement. Characteristics of the schools and their approaches can be incorporated into mainstream public schools and/or schools which focus on education for Roma students and other disadvantaged groups. Many of the ingredients of success identified in the study, including involving parents, supporting students outside of the classroom, and incorporating multicultural approaches to education have the potential to improve the quality and inclusiveness of education systems as a whole, to the benefit of the entire population.
