Attitudes of the Czech Public to an Amendment to the Education Act, Currently Proposed Measures and Inclusive Education – August/September 2023\n
Weikertová, Štěpánka
As part of a periodical survey conducted by the CVVM from August to September 2023, selected citizens over the age of 15 were surveyed about their opinions regarding the inclusive education. Specifically, we examined views of the Czech public on whether children with physical, sensory or mental disabilities, children of foreign nationality, Roma children, children from poor or vice versa wealthy families and gifted children should be educated in mainstream classes. We also examined attitudes to measures implemented by an amendment to the Education Act and to currently proposed measures.\n\nCzech citizens most often support measures regarding the preschool education. On the other hand, the least popular measure is a proposal to extend compulsory education to 10 years which is supported by less than a third (33 %).

According to the whole team in Kamélie Křižanov housing, attention is paid to all possible ways of trainig and development, as well as supervision, which eliminates the risk of failiture to a minimum. The results further showed that, in identifying how clients are involved in deciding how to use the service, it is primary for clients to choose the activity they will perform themselves, or to assist them, not to make decisions on behalf of clients. Furthermore, to acquire and train the skills needed for independent living as well as to practice the development of practical skills associated with self-care and apartment maintenance, the demonstration is a priority, then constant repetition of activities. The client will get a habit which will make it easier for the clients to gradually start living independently. To maintain and establish social bonds, interest from users of sheltered housing in cultural events has been found to be high, where they spend time with their friends and can forge new social ties. Family ties are, in many cases, solid through visits, and user friendships are solidified. The only problem persists is getting involved into the labor market, there are only two clients who have a job and, thanks to it, their own income.
