By continuing to shunt Roma children into “special” schools, where expectations are low and results still lower, EU member states are squandering hundreds of millions of euros annually in productivity and tax revenues. The message is simple: improving opportunities for Roma is morally right and economically smart.
年复一年，欧盟成员国把罗姆人的孩子送进“特殊”学校，这种学校期望低、结果更低，每年因此产生的生产率损失和浪费掉的税收收入都要以上亿欧元计。其中所包含的信息很简单：改善罗姆人的机会在不但在道德上正确，而且在经济上精明。
