Roma, as a poor group of people differing from the majority, have been mostly at the edge of society, both in people’s minds and spatially excluded. The Roma community in Slovakia is often among those groups that are most at risk of poverty, discrimination and social exclusion. It is necessary for adults to have a job and their children of quality education. But significant part of the Roma suffers from marginalisation in the labour market and is sometimes even completely excluded from the formal labour market. Roma children are lost in the educational system. Level of academic achievement is highly dependent on a child’s socioeconomic background, suggesting that the educational system still fails to provide social equality in education or a fair distribution of educational resources for all according to their needs. Several strategies for various areas of enhancement of status of Roma have been developed. Some of them have remained strategies, and some of them have been implemented and have been included also in the Slovak legislation. The most significant in education are the year 0 in primary schools, the addition of pedagogical assistants, and some projects with a focus on inclusion in education and institutional assistance through community centres.
