ERGO Network Snapshot of: Education, Training and Lifelong Learning

Snapshot on the Situation of Roma in Europe: Education, Training, and Lifelong Learning 

Our Snapshots on the Situation of Roma in Europe are a series of reader-friendly, visually attractive handouts, linking each of the 20 policy principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights to Roma rights and inclusion. Each Snapshot includes key statistics, a brief problem statement, and extensive policy recommendations.  

Roma children and students continue to encounter deep-seated discrimination and exclusion in educational settings, facing barriers such as poverty, segregation, language gaps, and hidden costs. These challenges persist across all levels of education and are compounded by a lack of culturally sensitive support, under-utilisation of Roma mediators, and the continued absence of Roma history and culture in national curricula.

Our purpose is to explore the phenomenon of school drop-out or early school-leaving as well as to identify its reasons among disadvantaged youth aged 14– 22, who failed to complete lower and/or upper secondary education, including of young people who dropped school to raise a family. In addition, the research includes 3 interviews with successful young Roma that are at postgraduate level (faculty, master and PhD) in order to analyse the educational success in a comparative manner.
