Description: "A decade after the Committee of Ministers adopted Recommendation No. R (2000) 4 on the education of Roma/Gypsy children in Europe, it is time to take stock of the work undertaken on the subject of the schooling of Roma children and young people, to draw lessons from this stocktaking exercise and to make fresh proposals. There are over 10 million Roma in the member states of the Council of Europe, making up Europe's numerically largest - and at the same time most marginalised - minority. The Recommendation CM/Rec(2009)4 makes new proposals for a lasting solution to the education of Roma in Europe."--Publisher's description.
Notes: "The term "Roma and Travellers" used in this text includes Roma, Sinti, Kalé, Travellers and related groups in Europe and is intended to cover the great diversity of groups concerned, including people who identify themselves as "Gypsies" and the various groups referred to as "Travellers"--P. 13.
