Gypsy pupils in Galicia suffer a very important educational disadvantage, as a result of the educational exclusion that existed until the arrival of democracy and prevails today, as a result of the low academic expectations of the students themselves, of their parents and mothers and of their teachers.

The aim of the intervention must be the academic success, considered as the finalization of the tenth year of schooling and the obtainment of the title of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO)
