The Ministry of Education is currently preparing for the new school year, when tens of thousands of war refugees from Ukraine must attend Czech schools. Their exact number is still unclear.
Last week, Balach said he expected about half the number originally estimated at 130,000. It is likely that the ministry will receive more accurate data from schools at the beginning of September. According to Fiala, the schools and the ministry are fully prepared for the access of Ukrainian students to the schools.

According to him, the Ministry of Education prepared support activities to facilitate the integration of Ukrainian students, for example, gave schools the opportunity to adjust the scope of education.
