| Description | Roma urban enclaves can be characterized as social peripheries – or so called excluded localities in which poverty and unemployment are concentrated. The detachment of Roma from the dominant-majority group is represented in social space and in educational system as well, i.e. in the existence of sub-standard, low demanding basic schools, where Roma pupils prevail. Both phenomena became a subject of public debates, policies, and in case of schools a subject of international legal disputes, too. In the article we pose a question what is the mechanism constituting “Roma schools” located nearby deprived Roma urban enclaves. As an answer we introduce a conception of ethnically segmented local educational markets, which arose after 1989 in large cities. The ethnically segmented market is shaped by three factors: (a) socio-spatial structure, (b) institutional frame including law and policies as well as schools, (c) the educational strategies of both Roma and non-Roma parents. The data we used for our analysis came from the Czech part of international quantitative and qualitative research |
