Abstract
The paper considers the effects of the education of the Roma in the Međimurje County. Although positive effects are present in many different aspects related to education of the Roma, one of the most important is certainly the change in the attitude of the Roma toward their own education. The comprehension of importance of the Roma children’s education and the intention to base their future material incomes on the work and competences acquired by education are an important step forward in developing a collective awareness of the Roma community of the importance of education and a giant step towards a more efficient integration.
