Apparently, only few Roma high school students manage to continue their studies and achieve university diplomas.
The originators of this supportive program put the effort on increasing the chances of those who are willing and capable of continuing their studies by helping and inciting them while their high school studies.
The aim is to help developing a wider layer of Roma community with proper command of foreign languages and higher education, which will be motivating for the Roma children before starting their studies. These educated young Roma will be competitive on the labour market or will be able to start their enterprises in a competitive economy.
For the ROMASTER program students have to send applications with the countersign of the high schools.
