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.
