'When I see my friends on the street, they ask me how college is. I feel like if just one of us makes a change, a lot of people can follow'
19-year-old Marisa Kovaci is one of them.
She said: “It feels empowering. Before, I never heard of anyone saying they’re going to college or further education.” One of the reasons: discrimination against Roma children in schools in Scotland, leading to many dropping out early. Kovaci said: “Roma kids were kind of separated from the others. Most of the time, I felt like everyone was against us.
Last week, the European Commission brought Slovakia to the European Court of Justice for that very reason, arguing they violated their educational rights and condemned generations of children to racist and poor-quality schooling. It’s why this growing group of empowered young Roma people going to university is something that is being celebrated. The fact they are all studying community development doesn’t come as a surprise to Puska.
