Summary/Abstract: The book was written as an output of a project carried out in 2013-2014 at Palacký University in Olomouc in cooperation with a Polish partner, which was Dolnośląska Szkoła Wyższa in Wrocław. The aim of the project was to analyse the transformations of the Czech and Polish education systems providing compulsory education after 1989, focusing on specific regions (Olomouc and Moravian-Silesian regions and the Lower Silesian Voivodeship). The functions of schools were examined, with an emphasis on qualification, socialisation and integration, individualisation, cultural and ecological functions. The mixed research design, conceived comparatively, relied on data collection using different methods: document analysis, questionnaire and multiple case study. A specific feature of the project was the role of the researchers as cultural strangers: Czechs in Poland and Poles in the Czech Republic.
