Document 170 - Written interpellation of V. Pláteník to R. Plaga on the accessibility of barrier‑free education and the systemic removal of barriers in Czech education.

The document contains a written interpellation from MP Václav Pláteník to the Czech Education Minister regarding the lack of barrier-free access to Czech schools and the limited access to education for children with disabilities. The MP draws attention to situations where pupils in wheelchairs cannot attend catchment schools due to architectural barriers and asks for systemic solutions, data on school accessibility and the possible introduction of standards or certification of accessibility. The Minister states that the State is preparing an analysis of school accessibility as part of the National Plan for the Promotion of Equal Opportunities 2026-2030 and that the responsibility for building adaptations lies mainly with school founders. Accessibility measures can be funded through various programmes, and new school buildings must already be accessible.
