Despite various initiatives, the long-standing problem of educational segregation persists, with the school’s location near a Roma settlement contributing to the high percentage of Roma students.

The focus should be on ensuring desegregation and equal educational opportunities for all children, rather than simply relocating Roma students from the school.

“We tell them how to be decent people, to study, to get up early, not to be on those phones. But do you know what I think? That the state is also very guilty of this. And the family. Believe me, these children have a lot of bread in them and they are good people, but we have to work with them. This is not only done by the coaches in the gym. We are like a father, like a mother to them. But the state also has to work.”
