In order to avoid school segregation of minorities, as emerge in the report published by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) on the population of non-Italian students in the school year 2007 / 2008, the Ministry intends to continue with the policy of signing agreements with various organisations throughout the country, 'aimed at pursuing the shared objective of education for Roma minors'. As part of this policy, the Ministry renewed its protocol of agreement with Opera Nomadi, 'a historic partner of the ministry in pursuing the education of all Roma, Sinti and Traveller minors'.
