Quality, inclusive early childhood education and a broader effort to desegregate public schools have been top priorities for the Roma Education Fund (REF) in Montenegro. A recent push to consolidate gains in school attendance and enrollment with improved educational outcomes within its activities is part of REF’s strategy to help Roma students to attend and graduate from high school. REF made a significant step for Roma in Montenegro in 2016 when it managed to close a segregated school at Konik, Europe’s longest operating refugee camp.
