AB This paper examines the issue of the Romany minority in relation to formal education and to the necessity of multicultural education. We report findings of several studies mapping primary-school, secondary-school, and vocational-school students' knowledge about and attitudes towards Roma. We also propose some teaching procedures usable in multicultural education. Next, we discuss how to work with a class that shows an increased amount of racist or xenophobic attitudes.
