Abstract
In the Czech Republic there have been a range of studies showing that Roma pupils are disadvantaged in the Czech school systems from the pointof view of their educational paths. We have evidence that Roma pupils are more often educated outside the school mainstream than pupils from the majority society and more often leave education prematurely.
There is a lack of information, however, on the kind of educational results achieved by Roma pupils. This article presents a probe carried out in the frameworks of the PISA survey 2009, which was an attempt to obtain information on the educational results of Roma pupils in comparison with the educational results of the majority population.
