In 2011, the ratio of school attendance of Roma children was 74,4%, which is lower then average [1].

Another problem is exercising migrant minorities' right to education during their stay in a guarded centre since they do not have any classes provided in the centres nor they are driven to nearby schools. According to the Polish Constitution, all children under 18 years  of age staying within the territory of the Republic of Poland are subject to schooling duty, no matter what their legal status is, including foreign children, whether they are staying in Poland legally or not. The monitoring conducted by the NGOs shows yet that the right to education is virtually not exercised at guarded centres at all [2].
