The second study report in the Misto Avilean project is the result of 45 interviews, 100 questionnaires, 20 infographics, summing up to 100 pages (in Romanian and English). The report develops mostly a practical approach, and less an academical one. It synthesises information collected in Romania, based on interviews and focus groups with 35 teachers, school principals and other education specialists, as well as an online questionnaire completed by 116 teachers from schools with at least 50 Roma children at the national level. The report provides a synthesis and an analysis of testimonials collected from experienced specialists, and it provides recommendations and topics for advocacy targeting Romanian and other relevant European institutions.
Among many suggestions schools highlight the need to transfer information related to education contents and of information related to the psycho-social environment previously experienced by children. This seamless sharing would facilitate a nondisruptive reintegration for Roma children who returned to Romania from international migration. The final conclusions and recommendations indicate the need for international and interinstitutional regulations for the direct cooperation between schools in Romania and abroad.
