Nevada (US):Hindus want segregation of Roma children in schools of Europe to end immediately. Hindu statesman Rajan
Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was sad that segregation
of Roma children in many European countries was still reportedly continuing. Council
of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg also recently commented:
"School segregation and substandard education is a reality for Roma children in
many countries in Europe. The consequences of this are devastating, and leave
virtually no opportunities for these children to escape poverty and marginalisation
later on in life." Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed
that Europe should respect decisions of Strasbourg Court and urgently end reportedly
discriminatory treatment of Roma children in its schools. Roma children should
be offered same quality education as other children and more ethnically mixed
classes should be encouraged. |
