one might feel sorry for all the parents in Bohemia of children who did not get into Charles University. Now they have to pay double--for private education, and taxes that support Charles University students and teachers who wax on about the avant garde while whining that they are having to pay to much, or are not being paid enough.
Why cater to this school? |

The school its self is a fraud, controlled by power-mongering, inept and out-dated thinkers. THe education is by rote at best and the staff care more interested in political infighting than educating the students properly. |

The situation is outrageous and humiliating for the professors. As a student, I respect them very much for enduring what most of us would not. Their salaries are often lower than those of the faculty janitor and scrub woman! Nevertheless, the dean thinks he pays them too much and has already found an effective (yet not necessarily legal) way to "put the professors in their place". Does that make any sense to you? |

The cech public education system is shit. The only thing I can figure out is the politicians are afraid if the public learned anything they'd kick them all out the door. |

I had a friend who went to Charles U. Granted, he was an English speaker and the classes were all in English(and thus he may be coming from a not-exactly accurate point of judgement, but other than his Czech(language) teacher and his "womans studies" teacher, he said the teachers were pretty low quality: nto that they didn't know their shit, but that the classes were amazingly boring, uninvolving and seemed to call for little critical thinking(as a philosophy major he was pretty disappointed...) |

Try living on 10,000 a month. I worked at CVUT for about that much or less, and walked off the job. No guilt at all. That institution is much more well funded--but any person who chooses that life,(as an instructor) either has a trust fund, or hates themselves.
How such a person could then walk before a room of students, well dressed, confident, well informed, and inspired---is pretty much like asking one legged man to join in an ass kicking contest. |

Yeah and czechs also fund the tution for 30,000 slovak students. EU regulation accept anybody who can do the admission test. Since most of the addmission tests here a multipel choice slovaks have access to the entier czech educational system. Not many czechs on the otherhand dont go to slovakia for the exact same reason slovaks come here the slovak higher education is not that good. Austrian have the same thing with germans and danes have the same thing wiht sweden.
But also no alumnia programs. If all the past graduates of charles voluntarly gave 500kc a year the schools problems would be solved. 95% of the graduates could afford that.
The result of this is that most teachers have second or third jobs with in there field and do minimal research and have little time for grading. My law proffersor at charles told me the way he grades papers he throws them against the wall and and those that end up with thier side down he gives an A and those with the side down he gives a C. Interesting statitic metioned the parliament yesterday by the minister of education. Only 8% of kids from low income families go to university. 100% of kids from middle and high income families go to university. So essentialy poor people are paying for rich kids school.
tution is contravertial subject here because it has always been for free..but what good is it when the cut of line in addmissions is a financial one and not a real skill based one. The addmission test to most school is bascially expects you to know all the first year material of the university in some cases they ask for things that you would learn in the second or third year. |
