Early childhood education for Roma children is essential for their successful school readiness. The aim of this research is to reveal the Roma and non-Roma families' educational attitude, including their cultural habits as being an essential part of the efficient inclusive education to support Roma children’s preschool education.
The research builds on emerging understandings of the inclusion of Roma children in kindergarten education.
Despite the adherence of European countries’ recommendations, Roma children still suffer from persistent discrimination and exclusion from education. The analysis is based in a framework of early childhood education providing the foundations to childrens’ later well-being, development and learning. The results indicate that the local kindergarten programmes in Hungary must be complemented with the basic knowledge of Roma families culture and that professionals must also know the Roma culture. The survey can inform future practitioners’ knowledge, skills and attitudes to improve the overall situation of Roma children in early education.
