Jak se daří inkluzi u nás a na Slovensku
What is the state of inclusion in this country [the Czech Republic] and in Slovakia?

Summary/Abstract: Review of the book: Vorlíček, Radek: Jak se daří inkluzi u nás a na Slovensku? / „What is the state of inclusion in this country [the Czech Republic] and in Slovakia?“: Pohled do konkrétních základních škol. Červený Kostelec: Pavel Mervart. 324 stran, ISBN 978-80-7465-387-2. The theme of inclusive education constituted a key development in terms of Czech educational and social policy in 2016. The launch of a process aimed at establishing an educational system that enables all children, without distinction, to complete their compulsory period of education, ideally in their place of residence, initiated extensive discussion in the political, professional and social spheres. The laudable objective of promoting equal chances for all children in the education system was, however, partly obscured by the introduction of inadequate legislation and poorly understood communication by the responsible politicians. Discussions on the future of inclusion continue to the present day. The author of the publication, Radek Vorlíček, focuses on the micro-environment of Czech and Slovak schools and, by providing specific examples of inclusion, complements the ongoing discourse on the functioning of the Czech Republic's educational and social systems. In many ways, however, this impressive publication, provides a greater number of questions than it does answers, thus highlighting that the consideration of this topic has by no means been exhausted.
