Curriculum Review The Traveller Movement Submission

20 Nov 2024

Romani (Gypsy), Roma, and Irish Traveller communities in the UK remain among the most marginalised and underserved groups, particularly in the education system. Students from these communities face entrenched barriers to educational success, including persistently low levels of attainment, high rates of absenteeism, and disproportionately high exclusion rates compared to their peers. Furthermore, these communities are vastly underrepresented in the curriculum, with their cultures, histories, and contributions frequently overlooked or misrepresented.
