- Jovens ciganos no ensino médio em Portugal: fatores-chave para a continuidade e o sucesso escolarPublication . Mendes, Maria Manuela; Magano, Olga; Pinheiro, Sara; Mourão, SusanaApesar de em Portugal existirem políticas públicas de combate às desigualdades, incluindo as escolares, a origem socioeconômica, o gênero e a pertença étnica dos estudantes continuam a ter um impacto incontornável nos percursos escolares. Os ciganos são dos mais afetados por essas desigualdades, reveladas pelas ainda salientes taxas de abandono escolar precoce e por retenções e insucesso escolar. Tendo por base os resultados derivados de entrevistas semidiretivas, o objetivo do artigo consiste em compreender os fatores-chave determinantes nas trajetórias de continuidade escolar dos ciganos no ensino médio. Os resultados revelam jovens tendencialmente mais escolarizados que as gerações anteriores, evidenciando-se a importância do contexto familiar, mas também a agencialidade e a resiliência.

- In-between identities and hope in the future: experiences and trajectories of cigano secondary students (SI)Publication . Mendes, Maria Manuela; Magano, Olga; Mourão, Susana; Pinheiro, SaraIncreasing numbers of Cigano people in Portuguese schools show that this is the most educated generation to date. However, according to recent data only 2.6% are enrolled in secondary education. Using an intersectional approach examining gender, ethnicity, and family socioeconomic status to explore the youngsters’ academic trajectories, and focusing on tensions of the interplay between structural constraints and individual agency, enables us to explore identity reconfiguration processes (‘in- between’). The data, based on 32 semi-structured interviews, point to three main dimensions regarding the youngsters’ aspirations for social mobility: the school relevance to achieve jobs differing from traditional activities; school perceived as a means to develop important transversal skills, useful in broader citizenship contexts; school as a privileged space for inter-ethnic socialisation, with impact on the youngsters’ school and professional future. Participant heterogeneity explains variations in their aspirations for upward mobility, as well as differentiations in the construction processes of in-between identities.

- 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.
