“…When analyzing the national statistics on the schooling level of the Ciganos/Roma population, a disturbing question is immediately raised linked to the notorious underrepresentation of their students in secondary education in Portugal. In the academic year 2018/19, only 2.6% of young Ciganos/Roma were enrolled in secondary education (DGEEC 2018(DGEEC /2019. Previous studies conducted in Portugal of qualitative nature (Magano and Mendes 2021a;Mendes 2020;Magano and Mendes 2016) provided evidence for these numerical data, demonstrating that the number of young Ciganos/Roma who completed secondary education is still very low. The statistics are not particularly promising at a European level, as, in 2016, 63% of Roma aged between 16 and 24 years old were not in education, employment, or training (NEET youth); which contrasts with the EU average of 12%, for the same age cohort (the 2019 data are very similar).…”

“…National and international studies in pre-pandemic scenarios reveal various important factors for the educational achievement or underachievement of Ciganos/Roma children and youngsters. At a national level, the key factors identified are family support and reference models but also friendly and inclusive school conditions (Mendes and Magano 2016;Magano and Mendes 2016;Magano and Mendes 2021a) inclusively as a result of the impact of public policies fostering social protection and education in the life of Ciganos/Roma families (Magano and Mendes 2014).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Portuguese government to declare various lockdowns between 2020 and 2022. The first State of Emergency was enforced in March 2020, in which face-to-face classroom teaching was repeatedly interrupted. At that time, families were expected to provide the necessary supplies for digital learning, with some support from the government, municipalities, civil society, and local institutions. Nevertheless, many families already lived under precarious conditions before the pandemic, and so the lockdown measures increased their vulnerability, with a probable impact on student school attendance and conditions enabling academic success. Since Ciganos/Roma are part of this vulnerable population, we intend to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the school pathways of these students, namely in secondary education, where they represent a minority group. The data are derived from a variety of qualitative sources collected during research carried out in the two Metropolitan Areas in Portugal. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the youngsters’ access to classes and their motivation to attend school, and opens the discussion about how because of the government’s universal measures, by failing to consider social diversity, in particular Ciganos/Roma Ciganos/Roma families, this pandemic crisis may disproportionally affect the education of their children and youth. The findings highlight, firstly, that these impacts continue to be rendered invisible and naturalized in the public sphere and, secondly, that the measures and legislation underlying the pandemic effects continue not to include Ciganos in policymaking processes.

“…The mandatory schooling established in Portugal, with the completion of secondary education (12th year of schooling and compulsory permanence in the school system up to the age of 18), is quite beyond the expectations of many Portuguese Roma young people. School continues to be seen as a place, above all, for children and adolescents, rather than for young or fully grown adults (Magano and Mendes 2016). The new data gathered at a national level by the Directorate General of Education and Science Statistics (Direção Geral de Estatísticas de Educação e Ciência DGEEC) of the Ministry of Education was published based on a survey sent out to schools in mainland Portugal regarding the academic year of 2018/2019, in which 808 schools answered, with a response rate of 99%.…”

The aim of this article is to contribute to the analysis of the structural racism and racialization that exists in Portugal against Roma people. Racialization takes place in various dimensions of life, but we will focus here on issues of schooling and education, which were accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic and revealed a lack of social deprotection and inequalities between Roma and non-Roma students. This analysis, focusing on the impact on young people attending secondary education, is based on a qualitative study carried out in the Metropolitan Areas of Lisbon and Porto using data from three focus groups and in-depth interviews with 33 secondary school students. Several public policies currently cover the Roma/Ciganos, but social inequality persists in terms of basic subsistence conditions and civic participation, as well as in the form of structural racism, with little Roma participation in political life and the invisibility of representation. The situation has worsened exponentially due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the combination of “classic” forms of racism and discrimination and the new forms of exclusion that have also appeared. We argue that the implicit acceptance of poverty and marginalization among Roma people needs to be viewed as a component of the racialization and antigypsyism to which they are subjected, and this dimension needs to be further investigated by scientific agendas.

“…Uma questão é que todos os dados a que temos acesso em Portugal apontam para o facto de o êxito escolar da população cigana ser muito inferior ao do resto da população, apesar de a situação divergir entre os Estados-Membros (CE, 2011), detectam-se níveis de escolarização muito baixos e altas taxas de abandono (Cortesão e Pinto 2005;Mendes 2007;Nicolau 2010;Mendes, Magano & Candeias, 2014). A baixa escolaridade atinge proporções ainda mais preocupantes entre as mulheres ciganas, que na sua maioria não ultrapassam a barreira do 1º Ciclo do Ensino Básico (EB) (Magano & Mendes 2016). O mesmo se constata em um estudo sobre Ciganas e Ciganos integrados (tendo como principal critério o exercício de uma profissão por conta de outrem) em que as mulheres também apresentam níveis de escolaridade inferiores aos dos homens estudados (Magano 2010).…”
