Abstract

V originále

This chapter examines how parental involvement is understood, dealt with and put into practice in the Czech Republic. Starting out with a concise historical contextualisation and an overview of the relevant system transformations in the last three decades, it presents related information on current key steering documents, relevant research, teacher education as well as practical aspects of parental involvement in different types of ECE facilities. The role of parents and their involvement in ECE in the Czech Republic has been importantly changing over the last decades and shows a rather diverse picture today, depending on the type of facility, their individual priorities as well as on related parental attitudes. The chapter closes with thoughts on the further development of parental involvement in the Czech Republic and its understanding as a partnership between ECE facility and parents, emphasising that a promotion and practice of parental involvement that remains unaware of differences and related power imbalances, carries the risk of reproducing and deepening social inequalities.
