| Description | After the political turn in 1989 the transformation started in former Czechoslovakia. New perspectives occurred in all areas. In this paper, we outline the situation in the Czech educational system around 1989 and analyze changes evolving across three periods: deconstruction and partial stabilization (1989–2001), systemic reconstruction and implementation (2001–2014) and gradual differentiation (2014–2020). We argue, that the program for 90ties was removing communist ideology from the curriculum and democratizing, liberalizing, decentralizing and opening the educational system. These changes were anchored in the first complex document of educational policy in the Czech Republic (White paper 2001). An important instrument for changes from 2001 was the curriculum reform. However, the reform had problems with its acceptation among teachers and disappeared slowly from the political agenda. In 2014, the second strategy for the development of the educational system (S2020) was introduced with a new priority and it was: addressing educational inequalities. From 2019 a new strategy (S2030+) is prepared. In the paper, we review the flow of changes across three decades a try to figure out, what are their specific features. |
