“…En línea con este planteamiento, hemos seguido las pautas de la metodología comunicativa (Vargas et al, 2004), siendo el método de investigación el estudio de casos (Curcic et al, 2018;Díez-Palomar et al, 2018) y el modelo de investigación el narrativo-biográfico (Cantón-Delgado, 2018;O'Nions, 2015), ya que hemos encontrado algunos antecedentes de estudios que emplean métodos cualitativos, de corte narrativo-biográfico, etnográfico o mediante entrevistas para abordar la continuidad educativa de la población gitana en los que nos hemos apoyado (Abajo & Carrasco, 2004;Baracsi, 2016;Goenechea & Gallego, 2020;Helakorpi et al, 2019).…”

The educational continuity of the Roma population can influence its socio-cultural improvement; however, it is necessary to continue researching the reasons that contribute most to it. In this work we ask ourselves why some Roma continue studying and what factors have contributed and hindered this decision, developing the field work in a community where there are no previous studies, Cantabria. We have contacted 12 people from the Roma/Gitano community and listened to their life stories, following a communicative methodology. The results show twelve factors that hinder educational continuity, such as the racism that exists in the school, the memorisation as usual academic form and the fear of failure. We have also identified twelve factors that favour educational continuity of the Roma people, highlighting personal determination to study, pride in pursuing a professional goal and achieving it, or the current situation of the labour market and the crisis. It is possible to conclude that the Romany population is in a phase of transition between tradition and modernity and that there is a high probability that the new generations will opt for their educational continuity.

“…The EU framework for the national strategies to integrate the Roma by 2021 is a statement-type document of the European Commission to the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Council and the Committee of the Regions, which advises the member states to adopt or further develop national strategies to integrate the Roma (Council of European Union, 2019). The framework proposed by the EU has four major objectives: access to education, employment, medical services and housing (O'Nions, 2015). Further requirements of the document include: a commitment by all member states to developing national strategies; fighting against discrimination through inclusion and human rights; cross-involvement in decision-making including the Roma; civil society and local and regional authorities; sustainable and adequate funding, monitoring of results; and mainstreaming the Roma inclusion goals in public policies.…”

“…The main common drive for fighting exclusion is by the affected persons and their families (O'Nions, 2015). Other motivations for confronting exclusion include: empowerment of groups, the creation of a sense of belonging of groups by aligning them together based on their culture, interests, identities or common interests, enable citizen participation, creation of social efficacy and enabling social capital (Thomas et al, 2009).…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify the successful strategies, through literature review, to be used in Kosovo to help integrate the Roma community and to reduce the community’s overall social exclusion. This paper further examines the gaps between strategies and implementation results in reducing the social exclusion of the Roma through experiences of other European countries with similar political and socio-economic history as Kosovo. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a literature review and further examines the experiences of other European countries, with similar political and socio-economic history as Kosovo and their strategies in eliminating the social exclusion for Roma communities. A holistic socio-ecological approach is used as a recommended model to be used for the development of a strategy to reduce social exclusion among Roma Communities in Kosovo. Findings The social and economic implications are extremely negative for countries with large Roma minorities, such as Western Balkan countries and the European Union (EU) as a whole. Roma inclusion policies both in the EU and Western Balkans contain considerable flaws and tend to ignore the variables of discrimination and antigypsyism. There is an obvious need to act more urgently to prevent the exclusion of Roma and to create strategies for better inclusion. Overall, gaps seem to remain between the strategies and implementation results. Practical implications This paper aims to add to the existing literature about the ongoing efforts of the international development assistance community and communities in the developing world. This paper also aims to show the gaps in ongoing efforts and provide generic recommendations that may be applicable in many diverse situations with the aim of leading communities toward a self-sufficient sustainable future. Originality/value The Kosovo anti-discrimination law protects all individuals from discrimination; however, in practice, studies show that the Roma exclusion is very high in Kosovo. This paper stands among the first to analyze comparative literature and policy reviews.

“…Intuition is a guide often better than a cold calculation of reason. Most people coming from the majority of the society, cannot rely on their intuition, and therefore they use it as a complementary means (O'Nions, 2015). Roma people, on the other hand, use intuition primarily in the form of a simple plan, and therefore they are not interested in other search engines whilst searching for answers.…”

The research was focused on monitoring the differences between primary and lower secondary school pupils in the Czech Republic in terms of their needs “to be successful” or “to avoid failure”. Its aim was to analyse the motivation of pupils divided by teachers into two groups: students endangered and those not endangered by school failure. The research approach was based on the application of the standardized School Performance Motivation Questionnaire. Through its twelve indicators, the differences between the above-mentioned groups of students were analysed with a special respect to the students belonging to the Roma ethnic group. The research used indicators of descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean, mode). The process of comparation of the acquired data confirmed differences in motivation of the group of students endangered by school failure as compared to that of unendangered by school failure. Pupils at risk of school failure showed a lower need to be successful than their classmates from the group at risk. Students at risk of school failure showed a lower need to be successful than their classmates from the other group. Also within these groups were found differences between the motivation of Roma pupils and their classmates. The Roma preferred the need to avoid failure much more strongly. The findings are important for educational practice because the ratio of the two needs identified affects pupils' learning strategies and affects not only the effectiveness of their learning, but also their relationship to cognition and school in general. Keywords: performance motivation, endangered students, unendangered students, Roma students, non-Roma students, descriptive analysis, school motivation indicators.
