Equalising opportunities for pupils in the Czech educational system through the work of social pedagogues, social workers and other street-level bureaucrats.
Halaštová, Eliška ; Pýchová, Silvie (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
This thesis discusses the possibilities of support for socially disadvantaged pupils in Czech primary schools by street-level bureaucrats in order to equalise their educational opportunities. Using a questionnaire survey, the thesis searches answers to the questions of what the support of disadvantaged pupils in Czech schools looks like, what organisational placement of street-level bureaucrats within the system can be effective for such support, and what support is appropriate for street-level bureaucrats themselves to perform their role well. The sub-results of the thesis are then claims that social pedagogues and social workers in schools, as well as social and other service workers outside schools, perceive support for disadvantaged pupils as part of their work and strive for it. A model of support inside and outside schools and effective collaboration between these actors therefore appears ideal. The fulfilment of the common goal of street-level bureauctrats is often hampered by inadequate working conditions, which should be systematically improved in order to improve the quality of line workers' work.

Eršilová, Zdeňka ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Špeciánová, Šárka (referee)
The topic of the thesis is the role of street-level bureaucrats in the selection of tools for the prevention of child removal to foster care. The aim of the thesis is to compare the practice of street-level bureaucrats in selected social-legal protection of children institutions in Ústí region and Pardubice region. In order to achieve the aim of the thesis, qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with the workers of the child social-legal protection body was used. The thesis identified differences in the use of some tools by street- level bureaucrats in the analysed regions. The main difference was the use of interactive case conferences and family conferences in the Pardubice region. The thesis described the barriers that prevent workers in the Ústí region from using the family conference tool and the circumstances for (not)removing children to foster care. Furthermore, factors influencing street-level bureaucrats in the choice of the tool were identified and the thesis highlights a possible difference in criteria for removing children to foster care across the regions, which would be worth further exploration.

This bachelor thesis deals with inclusive education from the view of primary school principals. This topic has been oftentimes discussed from the year 2016 due to settings new conditions for implementation of inclusive education. These conditions were set up by the amendment to the education act and ministerial decree No. 27/2016 Sb. The main goal of this bachelor thesis was to find out if the tasks from strategic documents are fulfilled in selected primary schools. Other goals were to find out how street-level bureaucrats can influence the implementation of inclusive education, then map how the principals cooperate with other stakeholders and identify the factors which negatively influence the fulfilment of the tasks from strategy documents. The results were detected through a case study. During the research I made six semi-structured interviews with primary schools principals in Praha-východ district.

Veselská, Kateřina ; Mouralová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Hejzlarová, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Inclusive Education in the context of the Election Programs of Political Parties" examines how the topic of inclusive education is used in election programs of political parties and political movements in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in 2017. At the same time, thesis also focuses on linking this topic to the public-political cycle. The work draws data from election programs of individual political parties and from the pre-election debate held on Czech Television. The main finding is that inclusive education has become an up-to-date topic for elections in 2017 - inclusive education does not take place in electoral programs for elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2013. Another finding is that 6 out of 9 political parties that got to the Chamber of Deputies after the 2017 elections were against inclusion and 3 for inclusion with adjustments. Most political parties see the problem as a whole in the current form of inclusive education.

Integration health and social services
Slavíková, Martina ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
In my thesis I deal with the integration of health and social services. I introduced the issue of two/double departmental service management and their financing, there. In addition, I described the various actors involved in the integration of services, mentioned strategic documents and legislation related to the provision of health and social care. In the case study, I mapped the health and social services provided in Louny, through street-level bureaucrats I gained information about the interconnection of services in Louny and about the factors that affect the implementation of integration of services in the town. For successful implementation of integration, it is necessary to specify the users of integrated health and social services, to create a home base for them, to provide a flexible range of services and at the same time to support the informally caring families. The lack of demand for integrated services is linked to other factors such as ignorance of citizens and low participation in caring for close relatives. Street.level bureaucrats in health and social services do not know the integration of services, they do not encounter it in practice, this factor has an impact on the motivation of street-level bureaucrats to make changes in the provision of care. An important factor is also the...

Stárová, Veronika ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Vlčková, Kamila (referee)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the issue of state social support benefits. The aim is to find out the current state of abuse of state social support benefits and identify their shortcomings. The topic is examined from the perspective of the theory of social construction of target populations and the theory of street-level bureaucrats. The work examines the construction of recipients of SSS benefits in both media and political discourse. Qualitative research was used to achieve the goal of the work, in the form of semi-structured interviews with street-level bureaucrats and document analysis. In order to obtain information on the construction of recipients of SSS benefits, articles in online and print media and stenographic records from the meetings of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic were analysed. I consider the finding that the recipients of SSS benefits are not perceived as a homogeneous group and are constructed according to the individual benefits they receive to be the main results of the work. Furthermore, forms of abuse of SSS benefits were identified, which are distinguished into fraudulent practices of clients and the maximum possible use of the law. The main findings of abuse were presented in the case study. Along with the misuse of...

The diploma thesis deals with the terms and conditions of specific calls for proposals of national operational programmes 2014-2020, aimed at children with different mother tongue, and implementation of simplified projects in selected primary schools in Prague. The thesis describes relevant grant opportunities and, based on a research survey, evaluates their conditions and implementation process. From the methodological point of view, a qualitative approach and design of a case study are employed. The thesis also points out the relation of street-level bureaucrats to applicants/beneficiaries and explains the reasons why eligible applicants do not request support through simplified projects. In order to accomplish the set research goals and questions, in-depth interviews were conducted with primary school principals, administrators of the considered operational programmes, a representative of the municipal district, and an expert on subsidies for schools. Within the last part of the thesis, recommendations for the creators of relevant calls for their possible modification and recommendations for other principals of primary schools are proposed in order to facilitate the implementation of simplified projects. From the theoretical perspective, the diploma thesis is based on four theories that frame...
