Qualitative Info

Roma migrants continue to encounter many difficulties, and even refusals, when they seek to enrol their children in school. The NGOs Romeurope estimates that “between 5,000 and 7,000 Roma children being in France today will reach their 16th birthday without having ever  attended school”. ECRI also reports refusals to enrol children of Roma migrants, primarily linked to the children’s ethnic origin and completely unlawful.
