Contribution
This paper presents the major research findings of the project “School Education for Roma Integration” (SEDRIN) which aimed at identifying in seven European countries (Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Romania, Portugal, and Cyprus) the social and educational needs of Roma women in enhancing Roma children schooling. Through a critical feminist methodological approach, the study focused on societal, cultural and school factors relating to Roma children dropping-out of school, and on reflecting on the role of Roma women in their children’s school success. The study’s findings highlight how Roma families’ culture is often interpreted on historically deeply established negative stereotypes about Roma, and that marginalization and discrimination is a major reason -but not the only- for Roma children abandoning early the school.
