| Qualitative Info |
According to the Strategy for education of Roma in Slovenia, adopted by the Ministry of Education in 2004, there were in the 2002/2003 school year 157 children of Roma parents enrolled in kindergartens in Slovenia, and 1349 pupils of Roma parents enrolled in primary schools. The number of students enrolled in secondary schools and university programs indicated in the 2004 Strategy is not so reliable since it refers to the data collected by the Roma Association in Slovenia. It indicates the number of around 40 students of Roma parents enrolled in secondary schools. Another source - membership in Roma Academic Club - indicates around 12 university students, members of Roma community. The Strategy from 2004 also indicates the number of around 500 adult Roma included in various educational and training programs for adults. If we count all Roma included in various levels and forms of education in Slovenia we can estimate that it is a number of around 2.000 members of Roma community (including adult education).
