Bulgaria's Education Ministry considers introducing an obligatory minimal percentage of Roma children for each school in the country.
The measure, which will cost EUR 20 M from EU funds, aims at further integrating the Roma minority into the Bulgarian education system. A total of 200 000 of the country's school dropouts are Roma, the Trud daily points out.
The Bulgarian Education Ministry also plans organizing special courses in which Roma parents will be informed of the advantages of letting their children join "mixed" schools.
However, the new measure is not expected to be implemented easily, as most Roma parents insist on sending their children to nearby schools - inside the ghettos they live in. Furthermore, Roma kids are frequently not welcomed to "normal" schools, since many principals are afraid may prevent Bulgarian parents from enrolling their children in them.
In 2010, 24 first-graders left a school in the Bulgarian town of Pazardzhik after their parents were told there would be Roma children in their class.
