The journal Migration and Ethnic Themes recently published the article “Left Behind: Unpacking Racialization of Migrant and Minoritized Students in Croatian Education During Covid-19,” authored by Emina Bužinkić, PhD, and Antonija Petričušić, PhD. The article discusses the deep-rooted inequalities in education that became more visible through the treatment of racialized children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors analyze how emergency measures — such as online education conducted exclusively in Croatian — further deepened existing forms of exclusion in the Croatian education system. Through an interdisciplinary approach and socio-legal analysis, the authors highlight systemic barriers to equitable education and call for the transformation of education policy toward greater inclusion, justice, and institutional accountability.
