Document 252 - Written interpellation by J. Berki to R. Plaga on the status of support for the so-called postponement amendment

Scope: § 16–§ 112; pages 1–8.

This concerns a written interpellation and the minister’s response regarding support for the so-called “deferral amendment” in education, specifically regarding the limitation of deferrals of school enrollment and the smooth transition of children from preschool to elementary school. The minister states that methodological support, training, and informational materials for parents and schools are already in place, and that in 2026 and during the 2026–2027 school year, the amendment’s impact will be evaluated through questionnaires, the Czech School Inspectorate, and external research. Preparatory classes remain a significant open question: a member of parliament proposes reconsidering their elimination, while the ministry refers to a future assessment of their role. The document itself does not amend the law but addresses the practical implementation and impacts of the amendment that has already been adopted.
