The amendment is to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, when schools in the Czech Republic have been closed since mid-March, and most have introduced distance learning. According to the draft amendment, the school will choose the form in which the teaching will take place, and should, above all, be adapted to the needs of the pupil.
“I think that the state should contribute, not everyone is doing well and the children need to learn,” says the woman interviewed in the TN.cz survey.
“If anyone has figured it out, let it be old,” another interviewee shakes his head.

“Children, pupils and students are obliged to be educated in a distance way, with the exception of children in kindergarten, for whom pre-school education is not compulsory, and with the exception of primary art school and language school pupils with the right to a state language examination,” the government proposal said.
“The school will adapt the way of providing education and evaluating the results of education in a distance way to the conditions of the child, pupil or student for this education,” the proposal further states.
However, he encounters the problem that not all families have the appropriate technology that their child can use for distance learning. “What does it mean to adapt to a student’s conditions? Give him a computer and pay for an Internet connection?” sounds like a comment on the internet.
“By law, the solution should definitely be. In any case, there are still a lot of questions. The ministry has removed all the problems that should be solved. The proposal says that the school will provide distance learning, but no one knows what that means,” he said. for TN.cz František Dobšík, Chairman of the Czech-Moravian Trade Union of Education Workers.
