Role vzdělávání v soudobé společnosti na příkladu České republiky / The Role of Education in Todays' Society: Example of the Czech Republic

This diploma thesis examines whether and how does the Czech educational system respond to the growing cultural diversity of the Czech society. At the theoretical level, it defines the role of Education in a Multicultural society and within the implementation of Multicultural policy. The main part of the work consists of analysis of schoolbooks for the subjects History, Civics and Literature. Insitutional pespective, analysis of school curriculum and a case study focusing on faculties of Pedagogy are also considered. The thesis concludes that the concept of the Czech Educational system is monocultural and thus not responsive to the change of social reality. A few strategic and concrete steps deriving from the outcomes of the analysis and a comparative approach are presented. These steps should help to switch from a monocultural educational system to a multicultural one. The author argues that key changes need to be realized in the field of future teacher traning as well as in the area of schoolbooks, that are currently largely reproducing cultural stereotypes and that don't reflect culturally plural composition of the society.
