Qualitative Info

Notwithstanding the fact that schooling is compulsory, some municipalities continue to refuse to enrol Traveller children in primary schools, on the ground that they will not be there long enough, that an eviction procedure is under way as their residence status is irregular or that the classes are full.

Qualitative Info

 

Notwithstanding the fact that schooling is compulsory, some municipalities continue to refuse to enroll Travelers’ children in primary schools, on the ground that they will not be there long enough, that an eviction procedure is under way as their residence status is irregular or that the classes are full. On the 12th of September 2012 the Ministry of National Education signed the circular that recalls schools’ obligation to accept children from such families.
