Vanková, Milada ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
The topic of my diploma thesis is a policy of cost- sharing in the Czech higer education system. Discussion of the cost- sharing policy implementation in the Czech higer education system has taken place for almost twenty years. Yet no form of tutition fees at higer education institutions was introduced. The cost- sharing seems to be a controversial element in the effort to reform the system of Czech higher education financing. The Czech higher education system needs a reform. There are many problems: worsening financial situation of higher education institution, a low efficiency of the system, inequitable access to higher education etc. Policy making is a complex process, which comprise of many factors. In this process, stakeholders plays a very important role. Stakeholders are those, who are interested in the policy or those who are influenced by it. In my thesis I want to clarify a dispute about the policy of cost- sharing in the Czech higher education. To reach this goal, I try to describe the attitudes of higher education policy stakeholders to the cost- sharing in the period of 1992- 2012.

Primary school choice - an important mechanism influencing equity in education
Simonová, Jaroslava ; Straková, Jana (advisor) ; Veselý, Arnošt (referee) ; Šeďová, Klára (referee)
Primary school choice - an important mechanism influencing equity in education Jaroslava Simonová Abstract This dissertation describes the process of school choice in primary education and the factors influencing it. Using a qualitative grounded theory design, the work builds on data from 41 interviews with parents from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Parents' decision-making about school choice is shaped primarily by the organizational needs of parents and their inner need to be a "good parent". When being interviewed, parents report a number of criteria, which, according to them, are important in school choice. However, for many of them they fail to obtain relevant and reliable information. Therefore, they may eventually make a decision based on criteria other than those referred to as important, although they are rarely aware of this shift and the change in criteria. There are three unavoidable criteria in decision-making: availability, reputation and the emotions that parents experienced at school during their visit. The child's needs are the important intervening conditions. They play an important role, especially if the parents feel that their child has some particular needs. The parents' experience with the education system and their personality characteristics are also important. The significant...

Stakeholders attitudes toward education policy management
Biolek, Jiří ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Černý, Jakub (referee)
In this diploma thesis I focus on the issue of leading processes in the sphere of secondary education in the Czech Republic. In a narrower sense, I deal with the process of key models of the governance concept in a specific framework of educational policy from the stakeholders' perspective. The main outline of the work was created before the project Strategy 2030+ was launched and works as a certain retrospective of players approaches before that time. The basis of the work lies on my own primary qualitative data analysis arising from interviews with nineteen key actors. The aim of the research is a certain insight into the perspectives of actors with the intention of revealing the state and future possibilities of Czech secondary education in the field of multilevel governance. For this purpose, I have chosen the path of critical perspectives, which follows the exposed places of the mentioned subsystem. Following this objective, I try to define potential relationships among revealed facts. This work also has two remarkable outputs. The first is a theory of weak link that I created to anchor some difficult-to- explain outputs, and the second is documenting the process of creating an analytical filter for Atlas.ti software.
