"We want to be included": Gypsy and Traveller children pursue learning at Leeds GATE BBC Look North
Latest Department for Education data shows that Irish Travellers had the highest absence rate from schools last year of any ethnic group. But we know that's not the whole story. In the last year, over 150 children attended homework clubs or youth groups or received study packs in West Yorkshire. Barriers to education such as discrimination and racism within schools are not reported on, as well as the effects of poverty and poor mental health.
With school absences and home education numbers both on the rise, we think this speaks to much wider issues within our education systems that must be tackled. All children have a right to an education and to access learning safely and be included.
Our young people spoke to BBC News Look North and worked on this story over a number of months with reporter Sabbiyah Pervez.
Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange (Leeds GATE) are a charity and community membership organisation for Gypsies and Travellers across West Yorkshire. We work to improve quality of life on the issues our members tell us matter the most - including health, homes, education employment and financial inclusion as well as social inclusion. We were founded by Gypsies and Travellers over 20 years ago and half our staff team and board are Gypsies and Travellers.

    Wow. I would have expected more from you, the British public, after like 1000 years. My maternal grandad was Romany, his father was 'voivoide', a kind of leader. Father indigenous canadian(Indian). Do you not all realize that the rampant social problems you all complain about stem from somewhere? From centuries of exclusion, opression.. it was illegal to be Romany for 200 years under Elizabeth -1.. 1574 edict. Sorry Brits, but your ancestors used similar concepts, colonization, doctrine of discovery, to trample on our forebears over here in the name of 'British Empire', and it reaped the same havoc. Only regular Canadians are at least trying to come to terms with it...read about Dead children at Indian Residental schools. All this takes time.. took generations of intolerance to spoil it all; wont be healed overnight, but it will require a dose of understanding, which means you have to LISTEN!

  • @grahamherbert3612
    @grahamherbert3612 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The low life expectancy is purely because of their unhealthy lifestyle. Self imposed unsanitary living conditions, alcoholism, rampant drug use, and a diet of greasy processed crap. If you've ever spent any time in their company, you'll know exactly why they die at a relatively young age.

  • @be_a_fish
    @be_a_fish 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic: the council get Travellers to settle down in one place and give up a core part of their nomadic lifestyle, only to neglect the place. I'd say it's unfair but they do the same with most council flats too. On the bright side these travellers will have an address so they can get work and have the chance to send their kids to school. I wouldn't given my right arm for that when I was growing up in a mobile home.

    Irish travellers and Romani are genetically different as the latter are originally from India and left there a thousand years ago and moved around Europe. I was shocked to discover that when I gave my mother a DNA test she had a lot of Romani probably through her Indian father´s ancestors on either his maternal or parental side. He was a a high ranking officer in The Royal Navy so his Romani origins must have been way back, Most of the DNA matches were from Romanis and Kale in either Finland, Russian and Eastern Europe with some even in The USA .

    I have an Irish Gypsy family living next door, their kids are good lads, but the lack of cleaning of the family is terrible, the flat was given 5 years ago to them, completely refurbished, new kitchen, bathroom, and new garden fence ............... 5 years later (now), the house is almost in ruins, the fence panels have been removed by them (the father took them off the poles and were left at the back of the next garden, broken and their garden is full of rubbish, broken chairs, broken tv set, weight lifting set rusting scattered everywhere; the smell that comes from their house is horrendous, the kids seldom go to school and they keep until late (10:00 pm) paying with balls that the kids kick hard and bounce against the walls ....... they do not care if they make noise to the rest of people living next to them ............ I can say that the area where I live is very good, everything is close and the bus service just on the corner of the main road is great, but the Kurdish people and this gypsy family make it so difficult to live in comfort around here.

    Make up your minds, you moan if they camp in parks or at the road side and now you moan about static pitches. There’re paying rent and I assume council tax, so why shouldn’t the council maintain the site? Take a trip around a lot of council estates and see how many residents are actually cleaning the streets, very few I’ll wager.

I don't know why they are treated different ,
