| Description | The political turning point after the fall of the Iron Curtain 1989 brought with it numerous challenges for the Czech school system, which led to significant changes not only in school structures and the legal framework but also in individual sub-areas and aspects. One of the areas, that has been particularly affected by the political changes, is language education, with language policy playing an important role. In this text, language education in the Czech Republic is explained in more detail against the background of domestic political changes, taking into account the recommendations of European language policy and a significant increase in multilingualism caused by migration. By analyzing the relevant legislative, educational strategic, school statistics and curricular documents, the question of how the Czech language policy in the field of language education has manifested itself over the last thirty years is examined from the perspective of the tensions between its regulation and liberalization. |
