Education helps man know the concept of liberty, which triggers not just benefits but also responsibilities. The teacher is the main actor of education, and his role is not just that of informing but also that of forming the pupil. This forming is viewed from several perspectives: personality, skills and aptitudes necessary to secure a position on the labour market. The work hypothesis of this article has started from the premise according to which there is interdependence between educational level and employment. The central problem pursued throughout this article is how to close the insertion gaps on the labour market for vulnerable groups, and the decisive factor is the education received in the organized environment (high schools, colleges and universities). The present article is structured into three parts. The first is dedicated to the state-of-the-art in this domain. In the second part are presented Rroma evolution statistics, Rroma representing the vulnerable group who is the subject of our study, since their slavery but also after they became free. The last part of this article presents the results of a direct questionnaire, an opinion survey, and the instrument used is a questionnaire applied on teachers from two high schools.
