Short Description
of the Organization / Department / The roots of the tradition of education at the University of Olomouc go back to the 18th century. That is why the Pedagogical Faculty was one of the faculties that opened immediately after the re-establishment of Palacký University after the Second World War. Over the next years there were ups and down in its development but it has always had an important position both within the region and in the European context. Now it ranks among the largest of the eight faculties of Palacký University.
The Faculty of Education strives for maintaining the tradition, versatility and modernity in the education of students for their teaching careers or other positions in education. This is done in cooperation with the other faculties of Palacký University and the priority is the development of education in the region and in providing qualification of graduates for positions outside the national borders.

·  The second part of the scientific research (including project activity), resulting in publication activities, participation in conferences at home and abroad
·  The third part of teaching focused on the implementation of the corresponding topics focusing dissertation in education at university.
