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 or so attended school”. The shortage of places on halting sites and the refusal of some families to park on those sites inevitably lead to illegal halting on “unauthorized” sites and incessant evictions, which hinder any possibility of enrolling Travellers' children in schools. |
