Education

They declare themselves as Roma in order to enroll in medicine! False reporting of ethnicity in secondary schools

This was established by the municipal inspectorate after the inspection it carried out in this school, during which it was determined that some of the students submitted a signed statement to a notary that they are of Roma ethnicity and thus automatically have the opportunity to reduce the number of students in the admission quota by 10 %, using the number reserved for the Roma community. - Here there was abuse by the students who declared themselves of Roma or Macedonian ethnicity, because we do not have the number of Macedonians to fill all the classes and they tried to enroll in the secondary medical school. The municipal inspectorate for education was also on the ground, where they ascertained that these actions were made by the students with statements or their parents and the municipal inspectorate of all those students who tried or expected to be enrolled and with less points than the criteria required in secondary medical school, says Nazmi Dauti, education department in Tetovo municipality.

During the day we tried but failed to get a statement from the high school principal Binaz Payaziti on this matter.

The Roma NGO says that the Ministry of Education should take measures, because this phenomenon also occurs in Skopje, Bitola and Prilep.

-Unfortunately, this is not the case only in Tetovo, it also happens in other municipalities! This also happens in Skopje, Bitola and the municipality of Prilep, and there is talk of a number of 100 to 150 people who falsely declare themselves as Roma, a practice that happened in previous years as well, but this year there is a huge number who falsely declared themselves and I wanted to I would like to add that maybe the schools themselves teach the students such a thing, because we have a network in almost all the schools and we hope that commissions will be formed from the competent inspectorate to find all those who registered falsely.

Henry Hedman's dissertation event on Friday

6 September 2024 at 12 noon (Finnish time, in Finnish) in Helsinki at Metsätalo, B116 (hall 1). You can watch the event online at this link: https://video.helsinki.fi/unitube/live-stream.html?room=l15

"Am I a Rrom? Continuity of Romanipen in exogamous families" -study investigates the intensity and continuity of the Romanipen (romaniba) of the Finnish Roma community in bicultural Romani families. At the beginning of the study, the characteristics of Romanipen (term: Ian Hancock) described by different researchers over a period of one hundred years, which were quite uniform, will be examined.

Hedman built questionnaires and interview forms based on the characteristics of Romanipen and received answers from 20 Roma parents and their 20 adult children for the research. He also used his own Roma background and expertise in Roma issues in the research.

The intensity of Romanipen has not been measured before. After familiarizing himself with mainly domestic Roma studies since the beginning of the 20th century, he found two dimensions in them, internal experienced Romanipen and external visible Romanipen. Internal Romanipen consists of Romani values, attitudes and the feeling of being a Roma. External Romanipen includes, in addition to the Romani language, the observance of Romani customs in three different contexts, which are the family, the immediate family and the wider social environment.

Based on the source material, Romanipen has remained fairly unchanged in Finland in terms of Romani customs and their observance, so Hedman ended up looking at Romanipen from an essentialist perspective. The core of Romani customs is still respect for older people. Romani culture represents Eastern collective culture.

According to this study, bicultural Roma families can be both transferors and rejecters of the minority identity. In a small scale exogamy can have the seeds of a threat if the internal value base of Romanipen or the characteristics of external Romanipen are lost.

Such as the Roma turned out to be in this study, bicultural Roma cohabitation/marriages also offer a possibility for the continuation of Romanipen. Romanipen was most strongly maintained and passed on to the grandchildren by the grandparents. The next generation of Roma was also supported by the Roma visiting culture, events and celebrations, as well as the endogamous Roma cohabitation/marriages of adult Roma children. For the Roma, the most important thing is the Roma soul, the inner feeling of belonging to the Roma community and the right Roma values.

As a result of this research, an overall model of Romanipen was developed, which can be used to evaluate the intensity of Romanipen in both exogamous and endogamous families. The model is also suitable for similar studies of other minority cultures.
