Paper Session
Contribution
This paper assesses the impact of recently established religious elementary schools on educational selection and segregation mechanism in a region with large population in Eastern Hungary. Since the political change in 1989/1990 it has been crucial question how the non municipal/non state maintained schools, which by definition lack of catchment areas, especially the religious schools provided with financial support from state budget, fit in local education market and what is their role and function.
Extreme selectivity of the Hungarian public educational system has been well known fact for more than fifteen years. The drastic exclusionary turnabout after 2012 launched a new wave of segregation and the establishment of numerous religious schools was undoubtedly has become the most important tool of it. In Hungary church-run religious schools are given additional grants from the state budget. But however, the recently established schools didn’t start to work in vacuum, but in previously formed public educational system instead. These schools have obviously no catchment areas and equal chance principles or regulations can hardly be applicable to them.
This study explores how this trend affected the local educational arenas in predominantly rural area at most with only small towns where public schools having been formerly prestigious, were forced to compete with recently established elite religious schools.The first research question was whether the establishment of religious schools created new selection mechanism and patterns. I also enquire whether religious schools can be regarded as „entrusted agents” of elite groups. Finally I wanted to know whether centralised state maintenance is able to control the process. In wider European dimension it is crucial whether what extent the educational selection destroys chances of disadvantaged stigmatised ethnic groups
