This paper focuses on the educational situation of Roma migrants in Austria. In order to provide relevant background information, the paper also includes a brief outline of past and current developments in regard to the schooling of autochthonous Roma groups and an overview of various Roma groups living in Austria today. Results from empirical research and outcomes of teacher training, both implemented in the framework of the IN‐SErvice Training for Roma Inclusion (INSETRom) project, illustrate conducive aspects and shortcomings in regard to the educational inclusion of Roma students in Austrian schools. The paper pinpoints complex intersections of individual, systemic, cultural and societal factors. These influence Roma students’ educational attainment, their teachers’ daily practices, and Roma parents’ perceptions and actions in regard to schooling. The authors critically examine established notions that regard ‘Roma culture’ and parents’ lack of support as ultimately responsible for the children’s educational career. They conclude that empowered teachers, who better understand the diverse nature of Roma communities and the ways in which schools contribute to educational inequity, are more prone and qualified to find adequate ways of teaching Roma students whose willingness to learn and benefit from education became apparent in the course of the INSETRom project
