Undoubtedly, there is a progress in the four key areas of Roma inclusion - education, housing, employment and health. Compared to the ambitious goals of the EU framework, however, these are rather marginal. In this respect, the shortcomings identified in the latest resolution of the European Commission are fully in line with our own experience, which we have gained in the practical implementation of projects for the benefit of the Roma communities.

Until 2030, it is envisaged to achieve a real equality, the socio-economic inclusion, and the reasonable participation of Roma (Factsheet of the European Commission, October 2020).

• Improving the Roma’s access to education and lifelong learning;
• Avoiding drop-outs from educational measures;
• Promoting equal quality of education offers for all learners;
• Improving the learnings success of Roma and
• Visualising the damages done by discrimination and segregation in education
