Sažetak
This paper analyses the consequences of educational segregation and existing measures of educational integration of Roma children in Croatia. The measures are viewed from the aspect of their contribution to equal participation of Roma children and successful completion of schooling. As a possible response to numerous challenges in the education and inclusion of Roma children, the concept of magnet school is described as a comprehensive model of educational policies and practice which has been developed to integrate minority group students and improve student achievement through raising the quality of the teaching and learning environment. A special advantage of this model reflects in improving the quality of education for all children since it articulates the quality, equity and academic success of all children. Given that this is an American model, the possibilities of model implementation in the Croatian education system are considered, taking into account the guidelines for successful magnet schools.
