The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
In the Czech Republic, the challenge of including Roma children in mainstream education was addressed by adoption of a framework for inclusive education in 2015. Since January 2016, this has been followed by the adoption of implementation measures, which include supportive measures and their financing, methodology and teaching staff training.
