The Roma are one of the groups facing the highest risks of social exclusion in Slovenia. This has much to do with their low level of education, inadequate functional literacy and deficient knowledge of Slovenian. This article presents various policies and measures that have been introduced with the purpose of better inclusion of the Roma children into the Slovenian educational system. The main purpose of the article is to evaluate the education policy for the Roma, introduced in the Slovenian National Action Plan (NAP) on Social Inclusion (2004-2006) in terms of its impact on promoting social inclusion of the Roma community.
