Education and Roma Children
The main dropout determinants are financial lacks (44%),poor academic results (16%), and only to a small extent
Roma parents lack of interest in childrens education (9%) or
the early marriage phenomenon (4% of answers from parent
questionnaires); Most of the schools lack coherent and efficient dropout
prevention strategies and they take action when it is alreadytoo late or they resort to inappropriate means;
64% of Roma children from Romani-speaking families learnin segregated classes as compared to 48.3% of children
from Romanian-speaking households.
