Qualitative Info |
The problem of victimisation in schools has not yet been thoroughly investigated. The experience of NGOs shows that there are cases of conflicts between Polish and foreign children where there is a larger group of foreign children. These cases involved for example schools attended by children from the centre for refugees. In schools attended by individual migrant children, there are cases of persecution of these children (especially those distinctive in appearance), including also acts of violence. There is no data providing an opportunity to estimate the scale of this phenomenon; however, it does not appear to be escalated.
