Integration of the Roma Population in and through Education. European Educational Experiences

The analysis reports with regard to the education of the Roma population on 19th of May, 2011, at the Council of the European Union, on the establishment of a unitary European framework for national strategies for Roma integration by 2020, Member States were requested to improve the socio-economic situation of the population, by promoting equity, social cohesion and active citizenship, suggesting that education is a priority and they should prioritize inclusive education systems in Europe by ensuring that all students (including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, those with special needs and migrants) have access to it and to create the facility to be able to complete education programs for lifelong learning. In addition, Objective 3 is proposed to eliminate all types of discrimination and provide real solutions. We intend to analyze some aspects of the educational policy regarding the continuation of schooling through adulthood, in several European countries, as well as the attractive motivational components of the curriculum (Spain, Ireland, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania).
