Abstract:Prispevek obravnava razvoj, pravni okvir in vlogo romskih pomočnikov v slovenskih osnovnih šolah ter njihov pomen pri vključevanju romskih otrok v izobraževalni sistem. Romski učenci se še vedno soočajo z nizko uspešnostjo, pogostim ponavljanjem razredov in prekomerno zastopanostjo v osnovnih šolah s prilagojenim programom. Kot odziv na te izzive je Slovenija v prvih letih po letu 2000 uvedla institut romskega pomočnika, ki se je iz projektno zasnovanega ukrepa razvil v sistemsko urejen mehanizem s stabilnim financiranjem in jasnimi normativi. Na podlagi empirične raziskave, izvedene med ravnatelji in romskimi pomočniki na osnovnih šolah v Sloveniji, prispevek ugotavlja, da romski pomočniki opravljajo večplastno vlogo: nudijo pedagoško podporo, povezujejo šolo s starši, posredujejo v konfliktih, spodbujajo redno obiskovanje pouka in krepijo zaupanje med šolo in romsko skupnostjo. Njihovo delo prispeva k izboljšanju učnih dosežkov, šolske klime in medkulturnega razumevanja. Kljub temu ostajajo izzivi, povezani s preobremenjenostjo, nestabilnimi zaposlitvami, neenotnim razumevanjem vloge ter pomanjkanjem sistematičnega spremljanja učinkov. Prispevek poudarja, da je nadaljnji razvoj instituta romskega pomočnika ključen za zmanjševanje izobraževalnih neenakosti in večjo družbeno vključenost Romov. Priporoča profesionalizacijo poklica, uvedbo stalnega strokovnega izpopolnjevanja, razširitev mreže romskih pomočnikov ter vzpostavitev nacionalnega sistema evalvacije. Dolgoročno se institut romskega pomočnika uveljavlja kot trajen in strokovno prepoznan mehanizem za krepitev enakih možnosti in razvoj inkluzivnega izobraževalnega sistema.

Title:Roma Assistants in Slovenian Primary Schools
Abstract:This article examines the development, legal framework, and role of Roma assistants in Slovenian primary schools, as well as their significance for the integration of Roma children into the education system. Roma pupils continue to experience low levels of academic achievement, frequent grade repetition, and disproportionate placement in primary schools with adapted curricula. In response to these challenges, Slovenia introduced the institution of Roma assistants in the early 2000s, which has evolved from a project-based measure into a systematically regulated mechanism with stable funding and clearly defined standards. Drawing on empirical research conducted among principals and Roma assistants in Slovenian primary schools, the article shows that Roma assistants perform a multifaceted role. They provide pedagogical support, facilitate communication between schools and parents, mediate in conflicts, encourage regular school attendance, and help to build trust between schools and the Roma community. Their work contributes to improved academic outcomes, a more positive school climate, and enhanced intercultural understanding. Despite these positive effects, several challenges persist, including excessive workloads, unstable employment conditions, inconsistent interpretations of the assistants’ role, and the lack of systematic monitoring and evaluation of outcomes. The article argues that the further development of the institution of Roma assistants is crucial for reducing educational inequalities and strengthening the social inclusion of Roma children. It therefore calls for the professionalization of this role, the introduction of continuous professional development, the expansion of the network of Roma assistants, and the establishment of a national evaluation system. In the long term, the institution of Roma assistants is emerging as a permanent and professionally recognized mechanism for promoting equal opportunities and fostering an inclusive education system.
