"I voted for Ms Honeyball’s report as I welcome the focus placed on including vulnerable groups in general education. In Romania, the school dropout rate has risen by a third in the last 10 years from 1.8% to 2.4%. This issue is exacerbated by the current economic and social crisis. The Roma community continues to be the most affected. According to studies, 4 out of 5 children who do not attend school in Romania are Roma. There are numerous causes for this situation. One of them is the difficulty families have in supporting and encouraging their children to pursue some form of education. In these circumstances, practical, structured support needs to be offered by the school, community and authorities. At the moment, one of the problems in this area is the lack of national good practices. This is why, for example, the Roma Education Centre was set up in Bihor County, which helps devise alternative educational programmes. One of the actions introduced is an informal educational programme called ‘Summer nursery’, which is aimed at eliminating the disparities between Roma and non-Roma children registering for class I in terms of pre-school preparation. I support initiatives of this kind which will make a significant contribution to implementing the National Roma Inclusion Strategy."@en1
