A documentary entitled “Fair <strong>Schools</strong>”<br />
See <strong>for</strong> y<strong>our</strong>selves that coeducation of all<br />
children works.<br />
In cooperation with professionals we have made<br />
a documentary about inclusive education, that<br />
is about the education of physically or socially<br />
disadvantaged or otherwise diff erent children<br />
in standard schools and classes. Although inclusion<br />
is a common and successful education<br />
system adopted abroad, in the Czech Republic<br />
it is still met with prejudices. That is why we<br />
have decided to publicly present three Czech<br />
schools that started applying the inclusion principles<br />
and successfully integrated pupils with<br />
physical or mild intellectual disabilities, autistic<br />
children, Roma children but also exceptionally<br />
gifted children who need special pedagogical<br />
assistance as well.<br />
The fi lm will present three children and their<br />
parents, teachers and classmates. <strong>We</strong> will show<br />

How to become a fair school II<br />
Inclusive education in practice<br />
The “How to become a fair school” manual<br />
has another volume. It is primarily intended<br />
<strong>for</strong> head teachers and teachers at elementary<br />
schools. You can fi nd there inspiring texts on<br />
inclusive education written by fair schools head<br />
teachers themselves. It also contains many interesting<br />
tips on classes and lessons. To help you<br />
orientate y<strong>our</strong>selves in this <strong>issue</strong> we have provided<br />
explanation of the most important terms<br />
and answers to frequently asked questions of<br />
teachers and pupils. Apart from this, you can<br />
learn about new features prepared by the Ministry<br />
of Education, Youth and Sports in the fi eld<br />
of legislation concerning children with special<br />
educational needs.<br />
CHEERING FOR JUSTICE!<br />
The rights of children are one of <strong>our</strong> major<br />
priorities here at the League of Human Rights.<br />
<strong>We</strong> think that if we do not help children get<br />
quality education and grow up in a family environment,<br />
we will probably sentence them<br />
to a life on the edge of the society. Thanks to<br />
y<strong>our</strong> support we can better en<strong>for</strong>ce the rights<br />
of children in practice.<br />

How to fairly compensate patients?<br />
Video <strong>for</strong> experts and others<br />
To familiarize the general public with the <strong>issue</strong><br />
of compensation <strong>for</strong> accidental damage in health<br />
care we have made a short documentary entitled<br />
“How to fairly compensate patients?” <strong>We</strong><br />
have used the example of an action brought by<br />
the bereaved family of the late Mrs Pechoušová<br />
to show you how diffi cult it is to orientate oneself<br />
in the Czech legislation concerning similar<br />
cases.<br />
Marie Cilínková, an attorney, will talk about her<br />
<strong>for</strong>ty years of experience with the defence of patients’<br />
rights. Gerald Bachinger, the head of the<br />
Patientenanwalt in Lower Austria, will explain<br />
how the Austrian system of compensations<br />
works. And LIGA will present their suggestions<br />
and recommendations on how to systematically<br />
solve the <strong>issue</strong> of patients’ compensation.<br />
You can watch the video at the LIGA’s YouTube<br />
channel.<br />
