of Roma students in special education. D.H. and Others v. the Czech Republic (application no. 57325/00) found that the placement of Roma children into "special schools" was not justified and breached Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) in relation to the right to education (article 2 of protocol no. 1) It also found that the tests administered to the Roma children before placing them into special education were biased and did not take into account the special circumstances of the Roma children and were not a fair and accurate portrayal of the Roma children's abilities. A number of other cases have established the same conclusion. A Hungarian case in 2013 also found discrimination against minority children in the testing before placement into special education EU response Despite the finding in the courts of human rights violations relating to the access of education for Roma children, the EU recognises that the systematic segregation of Roma children in education is still a significant area of concern. And that to date there has been little progress in a number of eastern European EU countries to change the situation for the Roma, as a result, the EU continues to call upon the EU member states to make changes to end systematic discrimination. In other areas, there have been some positive examples and changes to the situation of Roma education in the EU thanks to the funding of education programs under the integration strategies. These successes include the increase of Roma attendance in preschool education which provides a solid foundation for educational success and a unique situation in Ireland where teachers have been employed to travel with migrant gypsy communities to ensure that education is maintained within their migrant culture.
