- Abstract
This article is about actual problems of Romany people in Slovenia. Namely, I suppose that the knowledge of the Slovenian language conditions successful integration of the Romany children into local kindergartens. In the first part the history of Romanies through centuries up to present days is presented, then the history of Slovenian Romanies is added. Most Romany children come from linguistically, culturally and socially unprivileged families. That's why I point out three significant documents, having been enacted to abolish their unprivileged situation in the field of education: The Ministry Committee's Recommendation to the Countries - Members of the EU - about the education of Romany children in Europe (2000); Supplement to Curriculum for Kindergartens (2002) and Strategy for Breeding and Education of Romanies in The Republic of Slovenia (2004). In the second part of the article the results of the research are presented. The research was carried out in 5 Slovenian kindergartens, which in the school year 2007/2008 integrated Romany children or had a Romany group. The research included kindergartens in Črnomelj, Ribnica, Novo mesto, Beltinci and in Murska Sobota. By inquiry-questionnaires, being answered by 12 pedagogue workers, I wished to verify the questions the pedagogues meet at integration of Romany children, and also of what importance the Romany children's knowledge of the Slovenian language is for their successful integration into local kindergartens. The most important finding of the research is undoubtedly the fact, that it is necessary for the Romany children to start learning the Slovenian already in the early pre-school period; knowledge of the Slovenian language is the basic foundation, necessary for them to be later successful at school.
