| Description | What did Czech primary education look like when the Iron Curtain fell and the doors to freedom and uncertainty opened? This book takes readers back to a period full of enthusiasm, improvisation, and chaos—the 1990s, when Czech primary schools changed in many ways. Eight authentic interviews with teachers, principals, inspectors, and other experts provide a unique insight into how the education system coped with the legacy of socialism and sought to reinvent itself. Readers will learn how foreign languages were taught in an improvised manner, how the free market entered the field of teaching aids, how school management changed, but also how parents became more involved and how the "old" order did or did not change. The publication offers the memories of those directly involved and a brief overview of the key changes in primary education after 1989. |
