Abstract

Based on a study of archive sources, the paper introduces themes, problems, and proposals to emerge from the debate on the problems of the education system at the end of the 1980s in what was still Czechoslovakia. Observing the debates from the final days of the rule of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia might serve as one starting point for further study and for understanding the post-socialist transformation of primary schools, which the authors of the study are dealing with in the current project Post-socialist Transformation of Czech Primary Schools – Processes, Stories, Dilemmas (supported by the Czech Science Foundation; grant no. 20-11275S).

Abstract (in Czech)

Na základě studia archivních pramenů představí příspěvek témata, problémy a návrhy vzešlé z debat o problémech výchovně-vzdělávací soustavy na konci 80. let v tehdejším Československu. Sledování debat z období sklonku vlády KSČ může posloužit jak jedno z východisek k dalšímu studiu a pochopení post-socialistické transformace základních škol, kterou se autoři studie zabývají v aktuálně řešeném projektu Post-socialist Transformation of Czech Primary Schools – Processes, Stories, Dilemmas (supported by the Czech Science Foundation; grant no. 20-11275S).
