Dostupnost a financování vybraných podpůrných opatření v regionálním školství v České republice v letech 2022 až 2024

The bachelor's thesis deals with the analysis of the availability and financing of selected support measures in regional education in the Czech Republic from 2022 to 2024. The main objective was to map the system of inclusive education with a focus on the activities of the pedagogical-psychological counselling centres (PPP) and the role of the teaching assistant (AP). The theoretical part defines the basic legislative framework of inclusion, based mainly on the Education Act and Decree No. 27/2016 Coll., and explains the economic aspects of support. The practical part is based on a quantitative analysis of data available from statistics of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (MŠMT), the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), regional offices and other institutions. The research is also supplemented by interviews with experts that provide insight into practice. The work focuses on the comparison of the Pardubice and Ústí nad Labem region, which show different socioeconomic conditions. The analysis demonstrated the growth of pupils with special educational needs (SEN). The Pardubice region has a higher level of funding per pupil with SEN. In contrast, the Ústí nad Labem region faces a high burden on counselling facilities. The author identified the main barriers to the effective functioning of support measures, such as a lack of qualified staff, long waiting times and low wages of staff. An added value is the comprehensive index of support availability, which compares the effectiveness of inclusive education between regions.
