    teachers working with Roma children which constitute the quotidian educational practice. In
    absence of institutional programs, infrastructural and personal conditions, the teachers need
    to find solutions for the given difficulties. They become the key figures of the integration process
    and hence their attitudes and approaches are determining from the point of view of Roma
    children’s school efficiency. The target audience of the research are composed by pedagogues,
    who teach in elementary schools in the Csiki Basin in Harghita county, where the rate of Roma
    learners exceeds 25 percents. Signalling the main directions of the national policy and the
    presentation of literature examining the Hungarian-Roma relationship in Szeklerland offer a
    broader framework for the interpretation of the subject.
