Letter to the European Commission to prevent the construction of the segregated school in Trebišov
In January 2024, together with the Slovak National Centre for Human Rights (equality body) and Amnesty International Slovakia, we sent a letter to the European Commission addressing the use of EU funds for the construction of a new primary school in an excluded locality in a town Trebišov. By building a new school, the town is addressing the elimination of double-shift operation and the insufficient capacity of primary school attended exclusively by Roma children. We believe that this move will further exacerbate the already existing segregation of children in education in the town and is thus contrary to domestic anti-discrimination law, court rulings and EU law.
