The Constitution of the Polish Republic states that "national and ethnic minorities have the right to establish their own educational institutions, institutions designed to protect their religious identity and to participate in the resolution of matters concerning their cultural identity."
In Poland, many NGOs, which undertake various actions for the Roma communities, have been active for many years.
