In the Romani national minority, children are the most vulnerable group. Poverty causes lack of adequate healthcare, education, and housing conditions. Education is an important part of their lives because it can reduce, or even eliminate poverty. Often, children don't have support from their parents or the community, so they are more than likely to skip school or drop out at early stages. Many social rules inside the Romani community makes it hard for women to get education. Croatian government passed the bill of equality for minorities, but there are still situations where these laws are ignored. In the past decade there has been an increase of Romani children in pre-school and elementary education, but not many of them continue their education. Great importance resides in inclusion and intercultural education to fully include the Romani population in the society. To achieve intercultural education it's important to nurture the differences in culture language and to remove prejudices and stereotypes. The paper consists of two main parts. The first theoretical part describes the arrival of Romani people from Europe to Croatia, their customs, way of life and the number of Romani population in the Republic of Croatia. Important laws protecting the rights of national minorities were highlighted, such as the Constitution, the Law of Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and others. Preceding research on the Romani national minority, related to their social and economic status, as well as education and employment is presented. The theoretical part of the research thesis also presents the assumptions of Roma inclusion in the educational system of the Republic of Croatia. The second, empirical part presents and analyses the results of research on some aspects of the education of Roma children in primary school. The purpose of the study was to explore some of the aspects of the elementary education within Romani ethnic minority. The study involved 23 students from the Dr. Vinko Žganec Elementary School, five of whom are members of the Romani national minority. The status of Roma students in the classroom was examined using a sociometric method. An interview method was used to gain insight into the attitude of Roma students towards education. It was concluded that Romani students belong to the group of unaccepted children in the class, indicating a very poor level of their educational inclusion.
