Summary/Abstract: The paper presents data from a research conducted in Roma neighbourhood in town of Stara Zagora aiming to identify the reasons for children dropping off school and possible prevention measures, as well as to examine the conditions under which different approaches could be taken for family planning encouragement. The main problems identified are: significant financial difficulties and bad housing, poor social service based in the community of Stara Zagora municipality, low options for child care in the community, limited access to health services and services for family planning due to the lack of active health insurance status, lack of sexual education with girls, early marriages and birth giving, low reproductive culture and poor parental preparation.
