Zhodnocení ekonomické výkonnosti základních škol

Abstract

The thesis focuses on the financing of regional education with a narrower focus on primary schools, from the state budget. The selected sample is full primary schools in seven towns of the Moravian-Silesian Region. The main objective of the work is to present a comprehensive evaluation of the selected schools according to individual performance parameters in comparison with national averages for the period 2017-2021, the indicators that are the subject of comparison of schools. These are – average number of pupils per class, average number of pupils per full-time teaching staff, average teacher salary and average amount of other non-investment expenses per pupil. The main outcome of the whole research is to verify that there is no significant difference between individual schools and the national average values of selected school performance indicators within the framework of financing of primary education from the budget of the Ministry of Education. In the framework of search for answers to the three research questions, only one statement was confirmed, namely the level of average teacher salary. This was not confirmed for the value of the number of pupils per class, the amount of the other non-investment expenses per pupil and the number of pupils per teacher, as there was a significant difference between the values of the compared sample of primary schools and the national average. However, this may be mainly due to the fact that the period for which the indicators were compared was within the range of the reform of the regional education financing system. This was put into practice from 2020.
