Eight year grammar schools - escape or opportunity?
Vágnerová, Alena ; Veselý, Arnošt (advisor) ; Kalous, Jaroslav (referee)
Diploma thesis "Eight-year grammar schools - escape or opportunity?" deals with controversial part of the czech educational system. Eight-year grammar schools have been established in 1849 and are part of czech educational system ever since with an interruption since 1948 to 1990. Their renewal in 1990 was motivated by return to tradition and need for high quality education for future elite. These arguments aren't to persuasive in closer view. Firstly grammar schools nowadays are different from those in the past and secondly results of researches do not confirm advantages of ability tracking. Approach of Ministery of Education to this institution changes with time, its inconsistency mirrors in differences in supply of this kind of education in regions and cities throughout the Czech Republic. This raises the question of equality of educational opportunity and fairness of such a arrangement. Eight-year grammar schools are especially popular in Prague because of their "elite" status, but the motivation of applicants is not so straightforward as a lot of them seek rather an escape from dissatisfying conditions in an elementary school than opportunity of a higher quality education.

Transformation of the Czech foreign development cooperation
Fidlerová, Tereza ; Nováček, Pavel (advisor) ; Kalous, Jaroslav (referee)
Diploma thesis "Transformation of the Czech foreign development cooperation" deals with current change of the system of Czech development cooperation. The original system was too fragmented and ineffective. Responsibility for development projects was divided amongst departmental ministries as well as the budget for development cooperation. The system was complicated and needed to be improved. This thesis notes what made the system ineffective and how and by whom the process of transformation was started. That means it maps what has already been changed and what still has to be changed. In the process of transformation the neglected suggestions given by Development Assistance Committee DAC/OECD, evaluating the Czech development cooperation in 2006 - 2007, are uncovered. Consequently, remarks of Czech experts on development cooperation on what else needs to be paid more attention to are included. In conclusion, all observations and suggestions are summarized and scenarios of the Czech development cooperation are created.

Educational aspirations of primary and secondary school students in the Czech Republic within an international context - who is interested to study in the fields of naturals sciences, technology and engineering and who does really study these fields
Basl, Josef ; Matějů, Petr (advisor) ; Kalous, Jaroslav (referee) ; Valenčík, Radim (referee)
This thesis deals with an interest in educational and occupational career in natural sciences, technology or engineering. With reference to knowledge economy concept, I suppose that high-professionals in natural sciences, technology and engineering significantly contribute to development in science and innovations of a country. Therefore two groups with the highest potential to become high-professionals are of my focus - university students and 15-year old with university aspirations. I did not found any significant effect of family background on interest in future study and/or career connected with natural sciences. Effect of attended secondary school, in particular effect of information on science careers students get at school, was found very strong. However, at the tertiary level, natural sciences, technology and engineering students, compared to students in other fields, recruit from rather lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The findings presented within this thesis are in agreement with declared provisions and current activities done in the Czech Republic to support interest in natural sciences, technology and engineering. My suggestions stress two issues - career guidance and study programme lyceum.
