Summary/Abstract: The present research paper aims to analyze in a qualitative manner the main and specific causes of school dropout in young Roma (including age, culture,economical status - poverty, social discrimination, and infrastructure). Our purpose is to explore the phenomenon of school drop-out or early school-leaving as well as to identify its reasons among disadvantaged youth aged 14–22, who failed to complete lower and/or upper secondary education, including the young people who dropped school to raise a family. In addition, the research includes three interviews with successful young Roma that are at postgraduate level (faculty, master, and PhD) in order to analyze the educational success in a comparative manner.
