Abstract

The Roma national minority represents an important part of society in the Republic of Croatia. The Roma have a rich history and culture, and education plays a key role in the integration and social inclusion of all citizens, especially minority groups such as the Roma. Unfortunately, the undereducation of members of the Roma national minority represents a serious problem that requires attention and resolution. The aim of the paper is to analyze the problem of under-education of members of the Roma national minority in the Republic of Croatia, to systematize the previously known reasons that lead to school dropout, and to propose measures to improve their education. The results of the analyzed research carried out so far indicate a low level of education among the Roma, with a low rate of enrollment in preschool institutions, a high percentage of dropping out of primary and secondary education, and limited access to higher education.
