BETTER USE OF SKILLS

In the area of better use of skills and transition from school to work, however, is not of a single recommendation. Economic overview dealt with also a vocational training. A waste of time and resources has marked the fact that many Woergoetter graduates apprenticeship and vocational secondary schools, ultimately does not work in an industry that she studied, or is unemployed. The causes are many, but include the most powerful influence of socio-economic background of the pupils and also low permeability between the various directions of education. Each my way.

According to the OECD report, there is evidence that premature selection has a negative impact on pupils learning in lower categories, and not improving the average results. The distribution of the different educational paths in the Czech Republic starts in eleven years. Some people claim that the first selection takes place when entry into the first grade, when many parents trying to get their children to elite schools. The next step occurs about eleven years old in fifth grade, which is one-tenth of children goes to multi-annual grammar school, and in fifteen years is then split into individual educational directions about nejstriktnější.

"High school students receive a general overview, but no expertise, and mostly in humanities disciplines in higher education of secondary vocational schools in turn later many people heading for the technological faculty. Those who opt for vocational, are probably the worst, will not receive a high school diploma, and from the perspective of the company are on some sort of residual school, "says researcher Peter Sucháček who study Their basic school is most closely associated with the choice of other educational paths. "If the children's studies at selected schools, so it's in the Czech education system means that for them to conclude the other directions. From this initial educational pathways already basically is not a way out, for example, or on to high school, "agrees with the conclusions of the experts of the OECD project coordinator.

Between the lines of education is very low permeability, go from school to school and to get from school to the high school is almost impossible. "Early selection and low permeability of individual types of schools strongly affects the motivation of people, because in ten or fifteen years to decide what they will have in the life of the options," observes researcher, who in his research of differentiation of education focused on the eight-year grammar school.

The rapid increase in the number of students in public high schools, which, however, does not match the growth of expenditure on them, may according to the latest report of the Organisation for economic policy and development ( on the Czech Republic reduced the quality of tertiary education. The experts recommend improve the accreditation criteria based on the results, as is the proportion of students who completed the study, and also the introduction of tuition fees.

Andreas Woergoetter from the commented on the workshop organised by the Faculty of Economics and administration on the occasion of the release of the overview of this section of the report with the words: "students should consider whether it is not good to give the University a small amount, it will help a lot. In addition, it can motivate you to be more demanding and more interested in what they get back from the University. "

Added that it is important to establish a system of student loans so as to maintain the equal access to education. And he stressed that for the introduction of tuition fees and the fact that the difference between the income of people with university degrees and those without it, is high in the Czech Republic.

Vice-Rector for research at the Masaryk University in a debate, however, Petr Dvorak pointed out that before the introduction of financial participation of students is the need to learn how to distinguish and appreciate quality. Help to even the accreditation criteria.

Thanks to quality accreditation Experts from the OEDC but according to the head of the Center for the quality of the Masaryk University Soni Nantlové described the only part of the problem with the approval of study programmes.

The criteria according to which the disciplines currently assessed, are mostly focused on the personal and material security and scientific performance, but little seen on the learning objectives, scope and applicability of the competitiveness of the graduates in the labour market. "However, it is not about what criteria should be supplemented by the management in the accreditation, but about how it should look like in the future accreditation process. The forthcoming amendment of the higher education Act is working with the model of institutional accreditation, the school would approve their programs alone, "explains Nantlová.

The reasons for change is a series. The current system, in which individual schools submit their study programmes to assess one Accreditation Commission, is unsustainable. "The Accreditation Commission is overloaded with requests, is not able to be devoted to each field in depth discussion takes place only on the basis of the applications submitted on paper and presents for school administrative burden rather than a real added value to the quality of the study," notes the head of the Center for quality.
