Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the needs and attitudes of school principals concerning inclusive education in the regional network of schools and school facilities created within the framework of the individual systemic project Supporting Inclusive Education in Teaching Practice (APIV B). The regional network is comprised of 355 nursery schools, primary and secondary schools, higher vocational schools and school facilities in all regions of the Czech Republic and was built following a mandate for OP VVV as a network that requires support and works in more complex conditions of inclusion than exist at the national average. Our paper aims to describe how far the implementation of inclusive education has succeeded from the perspective of the principals of the participating schools in connection with the school legislative changes introduced in 2016. A total of 355 principals and school facilities participated in the questionnaire survey. The data collection mirrored the entry of schools into the project in 2017–2019. The overall results of the survey indicate the fact that the principals of the participating schools identified the area of social interaction between teacher, parent and pupil as the most attractive to deal with, and at the same time the most crucial topic for their teachers within the contextof further education.
