Inspectorate Profile: Czech Republic

The School Inspectorate of the Czech Republic has a long history – of course connected with the turbulent political history of the country. After the revolution in 1989/1990 the Czech Republic was the first Eastern – European country that developed and installed an inspectorate that did "full inspections" of schools – already in 1994/1995. That Inspectorate also was one of the eight founders – inspectorates of SICI in 1995. As in more Eastern – European countries, the development in this area of school inspection was not linear – due to political changes and the complicated change – processes in schools and education. In the Education Act of 2005 and accompanying documents the tasks and responsibilities of the CSI are crystallized now in a clear and stable way.
