| The American civil rights movement was started by an African American
woman who was a participant in a popular education centre. This centre played a key role
in the social transformations that led us to elect an African American president in the
primary great world power. The Spanish education system needs progressive transformations
which will contribute to overcoming the segregation and school failure of female Roma
children. Roma women, as the driving force behind transformation in their population,
are active agents when deciding on the type of schooling they want for the future of their
children. Through associations, and hand in hand with the educational theories and practices
provided by the international scientific community, in this article we present the
transformations which many schools in Spain are carrying out in order to overcome the
social exclusion of the Roma population. In this article we provide the foundations to
build a movement of female Roma university graduates who, by including the voices of
all of the women in their community, continue to be the driving force behind social
transformation. In this way one day education and society in this country will have
improved to such an extent that it will be possible for a Roma woman to be president.
