Integration of children from abroad in the Czech education system

The topic of the thesis is ?Integration of foreign children into the Czech educational system?. The theoretic part is focused mainly on clarification of the terms integration and foreigner. Then it is focused on describing the educational system of the countries the respondents come from ? i.e. the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Vietnam and Russia. The objective of the thesis is to find out how were the foreign children prepared for the education and how successfully they were integrated and accepted into the school group. For the realization of the objective I chose the qualitative research technique, interview and observation. The respondents were five children from elementary schools in the South Bohemian Region. Collecting of the data took place between December 2011 and March 2012. Getting the respondents was very difficult because most of the families don't consider themselves as foreigners but Czechs. Another reason was the fear of going public. The respondents were children who came to the Czech Republic from Ukraine, Vietnam and Russia. The observation of the children from Russia wasn't done because their teachers refused it (they didn't give the reason why). The chapter called ?Výsledky? (Results) contains case studies which present the information from the interviews and observation. They contain the results of the matter of integration of these children to the group of the Czech children, their acceptance and activities. The thesis can be used for a further quantitative research. It can also help to the public in getting the information about this topic and preventing potential problems
