Discrimination of Roma in Poland

According to a report published yesterday in the daily Dziennik the Polish authorities have allocated 30 Roma children in the city of Nowy Sącz to a special school although only three of them fall into the category of children that should attend such schools. The liberal left-wing daily Gazeta Wyborcza voices its dismay: "This contempt towards minorities puts Polish schools in a bad light. We must be committed to dispelling prejudice and train our teachers - including those at nurseries - in matters of intercultural integration. If the government does not tackle this problem now the class of intellectual Roma that is currently educating itself will force a solution. But it is the children who will pay for the time wasted."
