1. The Hungarian Educational Integration Program EURoma Meeting 10 th -11 th November 2011, Budapest

2. Overview of the problems and challenges The Hungarian educational system provides the fewest opportunities for children of parents with lower education and the children of poor families among the surveyed OECD countries (OECD PISA, 2000, 2003, 2006) Selectivity of the school system: The differences in school achievements among schools are more significant than the differences between the achievements of students within the schools. Contextual effect’: the socio-economical status of the school (the average status of the students) contributes more to the school achievements of the students, than their family background. In the OECD countries the 36% of differences in reading achievements can be explained by the differences among schools, while this proportion is 71% in Hungary.
