		<description><![CDATA[Czech education authorities have said they will take measures to end the wrongful placing of Romani children in schools for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilitiesquot;, in response to Amnesty International's report on the issue on Wednesday.br /
br /
The report criticized the Czech authorities for placing Romani children in so-called practical schools, leaving them with a sub-standard education.br /
br /
Following the publication of the report, the Czech Ministry of Education commended Amnesty International's findings and pledged to instruct all directors of practical primary schools to only register children who have quot;mild mental disabilitiesquot;. br /
br /
quot;All the other children belong in ordinary primary schools,quot; said Minister Miroslava Kopicova in an official statement on the Ministry's website.br /
br /
quot;Although the Czech authorities' reaction to our report is welcome, Amnesty International would like to reiterate once again our key recommendation -- a moratorium on placing any children into practical schools during 2010-11, pending a comprehensive review of the whole system,quot; said Nicola Duckworth, Director of Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia programme.. br /
br /
ldquo;We hope the authorities will implement this recommendation which we view as essential in order to end discrimination in the education system.rdquo;br /
br /
Amnesty International's report, emInjustice renamed: Discrimination in education of Roma persists in the Czech Republic/em, examines the systematic discrimination that exists in the Czech education system.br /
br /
Amnesty International visited several schools in Ostrava and found that Romani children are over-represented in so-called practical schools and classes intended for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilities,quot; due to the failure of mainstream educational establishments to meet their needs.br /
br /
In some places, Romani children make up more than 80 per cent of the students in schools for children of mild mental disabilities. Assessments that place them there fail to factor in cultural and linguistic differences of Romani children.br /
br /
Romani children are also segregated in Roma-only schools, which often offer a lower quality education, limiting their future education and employment opportunities.br /
br /
quot;In our meetings, Czech government officials agreed with the conclusions of our research and were open to our recommendations on what needed to be done to reverse the issues identified. We are looking forward to seeing concrete progress in this regard,quot; said Nicola Duckworth.br /]]></description>

The Czech authorities are continuing to place Romani children in schools for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilitiesquot;, leaving them with a sub-standard education, Amnesty International said in a report published on Wednesday.br /
br /
quot;Systematic discrimination against Romani children in education continues despite repeated international and national exposure. The Czech authorities must end the segregation of Roma children in schools and act to tackle the underlying causes of discrimination,quot; said Nicola Duckworth, director of Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia Programme.br /
br /
Amnesty International's report, emstrongInjustice renamed: Discrimination in education of Roma persists in the Czech Republic/strong/em, examines the systematic discrimination that still exists in the Czech education system, despite a 2007 judgment by the European Court of Human Rights.br /
br /
The Court found that the Czech Republic had discriminated against Romani children by placing them in quot;special schoolsquot; for children with mental disabilities, where they received a sub-standard education.br /
br /
With a new Schools Act in 2005, the Czech authorities merely renamed quot;special schoolsquot; as quot;practical elementary schoolsquot;, but the system which places children in these schools and teaches a limited curriculum, essentially remains the same.br /
br /
quot;Recent measures to support Romani children in mainstream education announced last November by the Czech authorities do not go far enough as they are neither comprehensive nor legally binding,quot; said Nicola Duckworth.br /
br /
Amnesty International visited several schools in Ostrava, where in 1999 18 Romani children initially filed the court case, which eventually led to the European Court judgement.br /
br /
The organization found Romani children are still over-represented in so-called practical schools and classes intended for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilities,quot; due to the failure of mainstream educational establishments to meet their needs.br /
br /
In some places, Romani children make up more than 80 per cent of the students of practical elementary schools.br /
br /
Romani children are also segregated in Roma-only schools which often offer a lower quality education, limiting their future education and employment opportunities.br /
br /
The placement in practical schools and classes for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilitiesquot; is based on the results of assessments that fail to factor in cultural and linguistic differences of Romani children and may be compounded by the prejudice of staff conducting them.br /
br /
quot;The duty to ensure the successful inclusion of Romani children into integrated mainstream schools lies with the Czech authorities who have a unique opportunity to reverse decades of discrimination and segregation,quot; Nicola Duckworth said. br /
nbsp; br /
quot;Education is the way out of a vicious circle of poverty and marginalization that affects a large part of the Roma population in the country. Unless the Czech authorities give them equal opportunities, they will be denying Romani children their chances for a better future and full participation in the life of the country.quot; br /
br /
Amnesty International has called on the Czech authorities to:br /
/p
ul
	liFreeze all placements of children into practical schools and classes for pupils with quot;mild mental disabilitiesquot; for the school year 2010/11, pending a review of the need for such a curriculum and schools;/li
	liEnforce in law the desegregation of education and adopt a comprehensive plan with clear yearly targets to eliminate school segregation of Romani children;/li
	liEnsure that additional support is immediately made available for children who need it in order to effectively participate in and develop to their fullest potential within the integrated mainstream elementary school./li
