‘Romea’ reports that a series of seminars has taken place in the Czech Republic at which educators from Great Britain have shared their experiences in educating Romani children with their Czech counterparts. The main topic of the seminars was the British practice of including Romani children into mainstream schools, where the vast majority of them are succeeding. A pilot study showed that Romani children who had previously attended the Czech or Slovak “practical schools” quickly caught up to their peers at standard British schools and are achieving average results there.
