“…Another legislative concern zeroed in on increasing the degree of inclusion in the educational process of ethnic and disadvantaged communities, since both cultural and linguistic barriers, as well as social barriers, can become factors of segregation in schools. However, the deepening of the social gap, poverty and, in some cases, certain cultural and religious particularities increasingly influence equal opportunities in the educational field (Crețan and Turnock 2008;Crețan et al 2021). The broadening of the educational framework through outdoor activities with students, fields trips, visits to museums and other cultural and heritage landmarks was also taken into consideration (Marinescu 2015;Light et al 2019Light et al , 2021.…”

This article highlights the problems faced by teachers, students, parents and authorities in Romania during the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as their management in the general context of the health crisis unfolding in this country. The documentation regarding Romania was compiled mainly on the basis of official reports and information taken from the media, due to the novelty of the subject for the case study presented. They were joined by theoretical-methodological works on the general epidemiological context and by studies on the particularities of the Romanian education system, which helped us to outline the theoretical-methodological background of the research. The authors have tried to highlight good practices, but also the errors that led to an increase in the number of cases and the imposition of restrictions, during the first four waves of the pandemic, with a major impact on educational activities in Romania. The main restrictions and advantages of online education, a first for the Romanian education system, are also highlighted.

“…Negative stereotypes have been attached to Roma people, which do not seem to change with time ( 31 , 32 ). In Romania, the Roma can be characterized by a history of political, social, and economic marginalization ( 33 ) and were even afflicted by slavery during history ( 34 ). Not much improvement could be observed over time, with Roma still being at the bottom of Romanian society ( 35 ), and unfavorable perceptions of Roma by the public also persisting ( 34 , 36 ).…”

IntroductionHarmful alcohol use is a significant public health problem worldwide, though the alcohol-related burden affects disproportionately certain populations and ethnic minorities, with the WHO European Region being the most heavily affected and putting an increased risk on Roma populations. This ethnic minority group is the largest and most vulnerable ethnic minority in Europe and Hungary as well.MethodsThe present study aims to describe and compare the alcohol consumption behaviors of the Hungarian general and Roma populations using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), which provides a comprehensive view of alcohol consumption behavior. In addition, a decomposition analysis was performed when the multivariate logistic or Poisson regression model showed significant differences between the two samples.ResultsOur findings suggest that Roma people in our study sample experience more alcohol-related harm, even when considering past problems. The decomposition analysis revealed that gender and relationship status differences act more intensely among Roma than non-Roma when considering alcohol-related harm.DiscussionEqualizing these differences would be expected to reduce the Hungarian general and Roma populations' alcohol-related harm frequency gap. Investigating alcohol-attributed harms at the ethnicity level provides important information to identify high-risk groups and, thus, to design and implement more targeted and accessible interventions for alcohol problems.

“…There are suggestions on exploiting core central functions when planning the development of rural regions, at least for differentiating rural areas where certain ethnic groups (e.g. the Roma people) are marginalised or othered(Crețan et al 2021). As being spatially determined -suggesting the presence of further influential factors -it might not be surprising thatBakucs et al (2019) found that rural development expenditures do not correspond with the quality of rural life according to many models.…”

Applied methods and materials to support regional planning vary; planners update their analytical frameworks based on the newly available data. Development goals, priorities and strategies need to be based on available (local) resources, which are identified as either comparative advantages or uniform development goals at a certain planning level. This paper presents a novel analytical framework for the Rural Development Programme of the South Transdanubian Region (Hungary) for the period of 2021-2027. Descriptive, cross tabulations and indicators of spatial autocorrelation were applied to the number of projects supported under the Rural Development sub-measures in 2014-2020. Large variation was observed in the LEADER development areas, and we confirmed that the pull effect of the regional centres is unclear. The results warn on the location-determined peripheries in the region. Agriculture oriented, even small settlements are better acceptors of rural development funds than other clusters of resource availability.
