Support for Romany Secondary School Students
BŘEČKOVÁ, Gabriela
The theoretical part of this thesis is dealing with the differences in education in Romany families as compared to majority families, the education of the Romany minority, educational opportunities of Romany students and inequalities in the transition to high schools as compared with the majority population. Additionally, it describes the reasons for early drop out of Romany students from secondary schools and the concept of the Support is defined, as well as its changes that had taken place over the years till June 2011. The objective of this thesis is to identify the effectiveness of the Support of socially disadvantaged Romany secondary school students and college students. To obtain the necessary data, the method of qualitative research was chosen, the technique of semi-structured interview supplemented by secondary data analysis. The research group consisted of eight representatives of secondary schools in the South Bohemian Region County who asked for the Support in the past. The research results show that all Romany students apply for the Support at the outset of their studies, most of them repeatedly and separately for each period. If a Romany student meets the conditions for granting the Support, he/she must meet the conditions for the payment of the Support. The subsidy granted is paid retroactively in December, for the period from September to December, and in June, for the period from January to June. The unused finance is returned to the Ministry of Education. At the same time, the research suggests that completing the application form for the Support is not easy. The number of Romany students who applied for the Support from January 2005 to June 2011 shows a downward trend. The reasons for not using the Support included, in more than half of Romany children, an incorrect estimate of education costs and also a failure to submit the relevant documents for the retroactive payments; in 21 % of the cases the Support was not used due to drop out of the student, and the rest was due to unexcused absence. It is expected that this thesis could serve as an information source for the general public because the Support, also called positive discrimination, is a powerful motivational tool for socially disadvantaged Romany students for whom it is not easy to continue with their secondary education. At the same time, this thesis could become a source of research for other regions too.

Racial Discrimination in the Labour Market in the Czech Republic
Vojtěšková, Markéta ; Rybáček, Václav (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee)
Práce se zabývá rasovou diskriminací na trhu práce v České republice. Nejdříve je vysvětlen pojem diskriminace. Přestože je to termín v poslední době velmi často používaný, řada lidí neví, co přesně znamená. V další části popisuji situaci na trhu práce v České republice, zejména pak špatné postavení romské menšiny. Na to upozorňuje také řada mezinárodních organizací a Česká republika je za svůj přístup k Romům kritizována. Situace Romů na trhu práce je charakterizována vysokou a dlouhodobou nezaměstnaností, která ovšem není důsledkem jenom rasové diskriminace, ale také jejich nízkým vzděláním a kvalifikací. Vztah majoritního obyvatelstva České republiky a romské menšiny je plný konfliktů a neporozumění, často vznikajících z nepochopení odlišnosti našich kultur. Nutné je proto nejen potírání rasové diskriminace a zlepšení zaměstnanosti Romů, ale také jejich začlenění do společnosti.
