Indicator history

There were in the school year 2002/2003 approx. 40 pupils with Roma parents enrolled in the secondary schools in Slovenia, according to unofficial data collected by the Roma Association in Slovenia which are quoted in the Strategy for education of Roma (2004).

According to the same source, most of them are enrolled in the vocational secondary schools in the Prekmurje region.

At the beginning of the school year 2002/2003 there were around 103.500 pupils enrolled in secondary schools in Slovenia.

(More recent data for 2010/2011 indicate total number of 82.267 pupils included in secondary education in Slovenia, but we don't have reliable data on Roma pupils for that period.)
