The data on the academic results of the Roma community continue to worry. 64% of Roma children leave the classroom without the diploma of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) while the dropout rate of the rest of school children is at 16%. This gap began to be reduced little by little during the last years thanks to initiatives such as the Promociona program, promoted by the Fundación Secretariado Gitano, which has been developing in other Asturian councils since 2009.

First, two occasions to see the documentary “8 Avenue Lenine” in Paris. Not to be missed.
Then, the usual litany: Annecy pondering whether to close a camp or first find a decent lodging for its residents (really????); in Grenoble, 15 families are threatened with expulsion; and in the Vosges, a family is expulsed, and alternate lodgement is refused (which is illegal in France).
