Including Gypsy Travellers in Education

Examined the educational exclusion and inclusion of Gypsy Traveller students, exploring how some Scottish schools responded to Traveller student culture and how this led to exclusion. Interviews with school staff, Traveller students, and parents indicated that continuing prejudice and harassment promoted inappropriate school placement and persecution. There was a paradox in work being done to promote school attendance by Travellers, only for them to be excluded. (SM)
