In a survey conducted in the second half of August by the Public Opinion Research Center, the opinions of the Czech public on issues related to schooling and education were collected. Respondents were asked how they would rate the level of education at selected types of schools, the accessibility of education, and which areas the education system should develop and how successful it is in practice.
Approximately two-thirds of the Czech population believe that the level of education in Czech schools is "very" or "rather" good. Grammar schools (73% consider them "very" or "rather" good) and universities (71%) rank highest, while vocational secondary schools (58%) are rated lowest.
More than three-quarters (77%) of respondents believe that everyone in the Czech Republic is able to achieve an education that matches their abilities. This view is more common among men (82%) than women (72%), as well as among respondents aged 65 and over (81%) compared to the youngest respondents aged 15–19 (62%).
Respondents see a sense of responsibility, independence, and moral values as the most important areas that the Czech education system should develop. The survey reveals significant differences between the expected priorities and how well the system is developing them. Most respondents believe that education is successful in developing the ability to work with information, acquiring professional qualifications, and general knowledge.
Due to a change in the CVVM survey methodology, the results of the present survey are not directly comparable to the results of previous surveys. More information about the new methodology can be found in this press release.
