The problems related to education of the Roma have existed in BiH for a long time, while action directed at resolving and reducing the differences between Roma and other members of society in BiH in terms of education have also been present for a long time. Yet these differences have obviously not been removed and continue to exist to the detriment of the Roma population. Interesting differences were also observed between vulnerable groups concerning their attitudes on changes in the education system. On the one hand, within the context of education, Roma youth (34.3%) and youth returnees (38.5%) stated significantly more often, when compared to youth without parental care (15.9%), that it is necessary to change the curricula due to their redundancy. On the other hand, youth without parental care (35.2%) stated significantly more often, when compared to Roma youth (10.1%) and youth returnees (15.4%), that there was a lack of practical work. In addition, youth with special needs emphasised far more often the problem of a lack of technical preparedness (12.0%) compared to the Roma youth (2.0%). Significantly less Roma had heard of lifelong learning compared to the other vulnerable groups (17.2%, compared to 54.5% of youth without parental care, 42.0% of youth with special needs and 47.7% of youth returnees). It also appears that youth returnees (64.6%) and youth without parental care (53.4%) are significantly more prepared to change careers than Roma youth (39.4%) and youth with special needs (33.0%).
