Ethnic Data Collection for Educational Purposes and the Situation of Segregation in Some Western and Central and Eastern European Countries
Abstract
The aim of this article is to examine the legislation of selected European countries on the collection of ethnic data for educational purposes and how these legislations are put into practice. The author also examines whether educational segregation exists in the selected countries and attempts to draw conclusions about the possible link between the collection of ethnic data for educational purposes and the existence of segregation. In the last part of the article, the author introduces good practices in the fields of desegregation and inclusive education.
