Ethnic segregation and inter-ethnic relationships in Hungarian schools

Abstract: The authors investigate the extent of the segregation of Roma students in the Hungarian primary school system and discuss its consequences for actual inter-ethnic relationships within schools. Drawing on results from our previous research, the authors show that more exposure to members of the other ethnic group (less segregation) leads to more inter-ethnic friendships but also to more inter-ethnic hostility. Importantly, the authors show that Roma students with above-average academic achievement experience a lot more inter-ethnic friendship relationships than hostility without losing friends from their own ethnic group, and thus the positive effects of more exposure to non-Roma peers far outweighs its negative effects. The authors conclude that policies that aim at improving the academic performance of Roma students can bring additional benefits by improving their relationships in school. (DIPF/Orig.)
