Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to compare the governmental programs for the Roma community in Czech, Poland and Slovakia. He is particularly interested in how these three countries perceive the role of education. All of the three programs include the educational component, as clearly pointed out by the author. Also, the position of the Roma Assistant has been introduced in all the countries. It is important since the education of Roma community has become a priority and the efforts of governments and European institutions as well as NGOs towards improving the educational and social situations of the Roma have been coordinated.
