    Czech Republic

    By Brian Kenety // 14 January 2010

The activists said that ordinary elementary schools remain unprepared and unwilling to adjust to the needs of the Roma pupils. "Segregation in education is unlawful but, unfortunately, it is still practiced in the 21st Century in the European Union," the report's author, Fotis Filippou, told reporters. (DPA)
