Digital learning as a tool to overcome school failure in minority groups

In the European Union development strategy formulated in the Europe 2020 document (European Commission, 2015) it was indicated, that the smart growth of the EU as a whole should be reached through the realization of three priorities: the increase in employment, the increase of productiveness and the social cohesion and specialized agendas: Digital Agenda, Education and Learning, E-skills and Employment. The main documents identify main weaknesses and risk areas. One of the most significant was described as the early school leaving of Roma minority members. Roma constitute Europe's largest transnational ethnic minority with an estimate of ten million people. Learning outcomes of this minority are significantly lower than outcomes of the majority. As one of the reasons for early school leaving of Roma, insufficient understanding of learning materials is identified. The result is that most of the Roma community members drop out of education before attending a secondary school and continue their lives as unemployed or enter the labor market as unskilled workers. Within the paper will be presented the CloudLearning project that represents an alternative and innovative educational method: the way of the SOLE method implemented in their education. This paper will include partial results from the pilot tests realized these days.
