- Authors

- Abstract
The article focuses on the research by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) on the challenges and suggestions to improve educational achievements of Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller pupils in England. The research shows that the pupils have higher absences, exclusions, and lower achievements. It suggests that pupil engagement must be maintained through the secondary phase, while the secondary transfer of pupils must be coupled with targeted support to arouse their full potential.
