Cochabamba, Bolivia, - 2014 - When segregation is as widespread as it is nowadays in the Romanian country, there is not much to be expected when there is talk about Roma inclusion into Romanian society. Socially most of the Roma are frowned upon by the rest of the population, and the local government, whilst making attempts for improving the situation of the Roma people, also makes contradictory statements some against and some pro the minorities. The Roma remain being one of the most vulnerable minorities of the European Union. They face violence and racism on a daily basis, are denied access to basic services, to proper housing and to social benefits. Even getting a national document is difficult when one is born being a Roma.
Most of the Roma children will not finish school, mainly due to poverty or lack of chances and resources, or even du to the discrimination and racism they face when attending to school. The biggest chance of Roma Children to escape discrimination and their poverty is a good education, and there are many samples that proof this. But segregation is difficult to fight against. Segregation does not happen legally, as there are laws against any forms of segregation in the Romanian law, but it occurs almost automatically for most Roma Children.
If the government were able to find ways for inclusion of the Roma children, the numerous programs already existing may be put into practice more smoothly and with better results. Programs to help Roma children to better and improve their chance to a good education are already available, but when put into practice these programs are faced with many different sorts of problems which make it difficult to implement programs. Government support in this field may be required, and studies would need to be done, to identify the factors and the variables ahead of the program implementation. What results may be obtained through education of the Roma may be difficult to assert on, but education of minorities has aided other communities with their socio-economic problems in the past, and is known to be a solution applicable to many other realities.
