Medieval Masterpiece : The Czech Republic's Sleeping Beauty In the relentless homogenization of Europe, it's getting harder and harder to find a place where "differentness" hits you in the face.

CESKY KRUMLOV, Czech Republic, 1993 — In the relentless homogenization of Europe, it’s getting harder and harder to find a place where “differentness” hits you in the face.

Czech research finds few Romani teachers, but their numbers are rising and they're opening their non-Romani colleagues' and pupils' eyes - Romea.cz - Everything about Roma in one place Romani women and men still constitute just a tiny fraction of the teachers in the Czech schools. The many obstacles which Romani people have to face, starting in childhood, are the reason.

The results of the research analysis demonstrate that negative experiences from school are primarily behind these low numbers, whether that has to do with Romani pupils being bullied by their classmates or by their teachers.
Primary schools are at the centre of Romani pupils’ negative experiences.
