Education
For easier orientation in the topic of enrollment of a child/pupil with a different native language (OMJ, odlišný mateřský jazyk) into your school/class, we have created the descriptive document “You have a child-foreigner at school” (long version, short version), in which you can find information about basic legislature, financing options, organizations working with foreigners in the South Moravian region and other.
Our documents can help you when you are looking for teaching materials:
- INSPIROMAT (list of materials adequate for teaching pupils with OMJ)
- Tips for kindergartens
- Tips for elementary schools
- Tips for secondary schools
Useful information:
- Offer during holidays: We have informed you about the offer during the summer holidays in our region and Brno here.
- Offer of creating adaptation groups: There is an option of creating adaptation groups across the Czech republic of a minimum 15 children aged 6 – 15 years old through the project Welcome to Czechia (Vítej v Česku). Those who are potentially interested from the Ukrainian community can be referred to this web with a registration form.
