• Minority Rights in Education:Lessons for the European Union from Estonia, Latvia, Romania[...] Macedonia.By D. Wilson. 2002
  This report argues that the European Union pressurizes pre-accession countries to comply with minority rights standards that its current members do not recognise. Despite a growing consensus on the rights of minorities in Europe, the precise nature of EU policy on minority rights in education is unclear, as this overview of the subject shows. The report provides a conceptual framework for minority rights in and through education and includes an analytical review of legal and practical developments in four countries involved in negotiations with the European Union. The result highlights huge divergence in practice in minority education, and a lack of clarity in just what the EU promotes.

Using data from the mid-1990’s and a comparable national sample, the authors estimated multinomial probability models for rates of dropping out after primary school (8th grade), continuing in vocational training school, or continuing in a secondary school with a maturity examination (necessary for college entrance).
