The reports aim to support the Decade goals on education, and to establish a framework for regular monitoring throughout the Decade, as well as to promote consultation with Roma communities on education issues. The Decade goals are set in 2003 to design and implement policies promoting Roma inclusion to break the vicious cycle of poverty and exclusion in the region. The report provides an assessment of the state of implementation of Government education policies for Roma, data on key education indicators, and case studies on selected communities.This is the second volume of reports in the series, covering four countries: Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovakia. Also included here is the overview report, resuming the main findings across all the countries. The first volume of reports, covering Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Serbia, was published in April 2007.
