Drawing from an ethnography study, this article examines the process of selection in educational settings. Special attention is paid to one elementary school in western part of Slovak Republic. The article outlines how school mechanisms help to shape the social boundaries among pupils and social groups. The article also sheds light on many aspects of social position of Roma pupil. In this context, the text says that Roma pupil position depends on the social space in the school building and interaction of school and non-school settings. The text brings into dialogue various themes on education, social inequality and interethnic relationship. The fieldwork is based on observation and unstructured interviews.
