- Como acolher os estudantes ciganos na escola pública?: do reconhecimento da alteridade a uma pluralidade de arranjos discriminatóriosPublication . Caetano, Pedro; Mendes, Maria Manuela; Magano, OlgaNo quadro europeu de uma aposta estratégica em sociedades cada vez mais escolarizadas e inclusivas, o desafio da presença de diferentes culturas nas escolas requer a implementação de políticas que promovam a não discriminação. No entanto, os ciganos Portugueses constituem-se ainda como um grupo cultural e étnico aparentemente imune aos objetivos destas políticas, em virtude do enorme preconceito social e histórico que impende sobre os seus membros. Neste sentido, foi realizada uma investigação visando colocar à prova um conjunto de possibilidades relativas à melhor forma de acolher estudantes ciganos na escola pública. Foram inquiridos 700 alunos não ciganos de 3 escolas do ensino médio da Grande Lisboa. Seguindo a perspetiva de uma sociologia eminentemente compreensiva, foi mobilizado um questionário baseado em cenários com o objetivo de captar junto dos estudantes não ciganos a forma mais conveniente da escola acolher estudantes ciganos discriminados numa outra escola. Os resultados mostram que, para a maioria dos inquiridos, os ciganos devem ser socializados através de procedimentos táticos, ou individualizados por meio de dispositivos morais ou funcionais de modo a serem convenientemente assimilados.
- “The closed door?”: the relationship of the ciganos with the labour market from the perspective of the employment and training officersPublication . Candeias, Pedro; Caetano, Pedro; Mendes, Manuela; Magano, OlgaThe employability of the Portuguese Roma, or Ciganos, is one of the major challenges that arises in contemporary Portuguese society, being transversal to other European countries, since a part of this population lack the necessary school and professional qualifications for their integration in the labour market. Employment and professional training centres can operate as institutional mediators between the Ciganos and the labour market. However, there are few studies about these public services and this article aims to fill this gap in terms of knowledge on this thematic. This paper is based on the analysis of the results derived from an online survey applied to employment centre directors and officers, aimed at unravelling the motives that justify, in their perspective, the low employability of Ciganos. Despise the results highlighted the greater emphasis on explanations of individual order and lesser reference to factors that are structural or focused on the employers. The contact with Cigano culture appears to be associated with a decrease of the importance of explanations of individual order and a higher weight of the explanations of structural order.
- How did the COVID-19 Pandemic and digital divide impact ciganos/roma school pathways?Publication . Mourão, Susana; Pinheiro, Sara; Mendes, Maria Manuela; Caetano, Pedro; Magano, OlgaThe 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.
