Please send comments and updates to: [email protected] 1 Executive Summary The objective of this study is to assess the priority areas of activity and potential financing needs for the proposed international Roma Education Fund for the Czech Republic and to identify possible projects and programs for initial financing. The main educational problems facing the Czech Roma can be summarised as follows. Majority of Romani children do not participate in pre-school education and some 60- 67% undergo their basic education in separate provisions of special schools originally intended for mentally and physically handicapped children. Those who attend mainstream basic schools often fail and drop-out at a rate 6 times higher than non-Roma, most often in 5-9th grade. Consequently only 15% Romani pupils finish basic education at mainstream schools and only few continue to upper-secondary and tertiary education. As a result, Romani unemployment reaches 50-80% in some regions and at least 47% of Romani population of productive age are dependent for their income solely on social assistance. The availability of social benefits eliminates to a certain extent material deprivation and extreme poverty within the Czech Romani community, however the living standards of the majority of Roma remain very low in comparison to the population at large. Educational segregation is reinforced by increasing housing segregation. Based on these data, the study identified the following as the priority areas of activity in relation to Romani education in the Czech Republic: pre-school, basic school, upper-secondary (including vocational), tertiary, adult and multicultural education. The following interventions have been cost: a major increase in Romani enrolment in preschool education through preparatory years; the use of (ideally Romani) teacher assistants; desegregation of compulsory education; drop-out prevention through training of pedagogical workers; tutoring and mentoring at basic and upper- secondary schools; upper-secondary and tertiary scholarships; adult courses for the completion of basic education; and multicultural education training for pedagogical workers. The cost calculated for these interventions is 371,234,023-402,499,484 USD or 37,123,402-40,249,948 USD per year. While at the first look this may seem an astronomical figure, it equals to only 10.4-11.2% of the yearly expenses of the Czech Ministry of Education.1 Similarly, it is indeed at least 2.5 times less than the estimated yearly expenses for social benefits for the Czech Roma. In addition, a large proportion of the expenses is already now a part of the governmental budget (e.g. current expenses for preparatory years and teacher assistants). Additional cuts can result from relocation of existing school facilities and staff. Finally, some expenses could be cut down if necessary as the consultant was rather generous in some instances. Besides these large-scale interventions, the report also suggests a number of ideas for projects that could be piloted in the Czech context. Given the dearth of available data, the conclusions made in this report are very tentative. It is hoped that the projects run within the framework of the Decade of Romani Inclusion will contribute to generating more reliable data upon which systematic policies could be build. 1 According to the budgetary information by the Czech Ministry of Finance, these were 94,000,146,000 CZK or 356,694,833 USD for 2004. 5 Version of
