The Commission sets seven objectives at the EU level for the period up to 2030. Three
of these objectives are horizontal in the areas of equality, inclusion and participation. The other
four are sectoral objectives in the areas of education, employment, housing and health. To
implement these objectives effectively, they need to be backed up with the ability to measure
progress.

The Council Recommendation on high-quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) systems underlines the importance of access to ECEC services for all children and recalls that quality ECEC can be “an effective tool to achieve educational equity for children in a disadvantaged situation, such as some migrant or ethnic minorities (for example Roma)”.
It can provide Roma children with a start in life that is equal to their non-Roma peers’, which is essential to break the cycle of intergenerational transmission of poverty. To reach this objective, ECEC needs to be accessible, available and affordable.
As the percentage of Roma children aged between 4 and the starting age of compulsory primary education who participated in ECEC amounted to only 53% in the nine surveyed countries in 2016, the EU Roma strategic framework for equality, inclusion and participation for 2020-2030 set out an ambitious target of at least 70% of Roma children aged 3 and above participating in ECEC by 2030.
The Council of Europe began its involvement with the Roma in 1969 by adopting the first official text on the «situation of Gypsies and other Travellers in Europe». In 1983 the Council organised the first training seminar for teachers working with Roma children. In 1993 the Roma population was declared a European minority. (περισσότερα…)
