Summary/Abstract: Providing equal education opportunities is a fundamental challenge for the local education system in multi-ethnic settlements. Fair education and multicultural education are influenced by demographic change, especially by the rise of the Roma population in Transylvanian settlements nowadays. The aim of this study is to examine the pedagogicalchallenges caused by the increasing number of Roma pupils in the schools in Gencs, Ákos, and Zabola. The research focuses on the possibilities of the multicultural education in the Hungarian language-based classes in elementary schools: how can teachers support children in a multicultural environment. In my study I present a review about the Roma pupils’ education in Hungarian language-based classes in the three settlements. The investigation is based on fieldwork made in the settlements last years.
