setting up more programmes aimed at the Internet accessability for all target groups of
the Czech society
- To support computer literacy in the society
- To try to provide a better economical accessability of the Internet services for all
- To change the approach of the Czech state system to the people with a handicap in
specific areas
PROBLEMS:
- Often lack of appropriate and understandable information for all target groups
- Not equal economical accessability of Internet services for all
- Low support of new technologies from the head officials in specific areas (economical
aspects, low flexibility,insufficient information)
- Though great theoretical support of new technologies for example at universities
(hospitals, some companies etc.)and schools, not always corresponding technical background
and chance to really use it in practice, including basic accessibility of a
computer(machine), which is often vital for studies.
- Low number of experienced teachers with appropriate education in the state educational
system(influenced strongly by their economical situation), high prices of courses
organized by other organization, possible real beginners not always taken into
consideration.
- Computer studies still not a compulsary part of the curriculum at many schools.
- A very discouraging law system of disability pensions and assesment system for
disabilities which often influences very badly the motivation of the patient to
reintegrate into the normal working process( having been discussed at the moment and
proposals for change of the law been presented on Internet)
- Not enough support for the companies who are willing to employ the disabled and low
support of e.g.requalification courses for the persons with disability in all areas
including computer studies often demanded by the disabled.
SUGGESTIONS:
- To bring up an interactive discussion between the official institutions and the users in
order to response to their real needs
- To provide a better economical accesability of the Internet services for all,support of
competition in the field.
- To enhance the support of new technologies both on the theoretical and practical levels
including producing user-friendly studying materials and finding possible ways how to
effectively finance the technical equipment of the institutions, mainly in the state
sector.
- To help broadening of the IT studies programmes in the country,make the computer studies
a compulsary part of the education on all levels , corresponding with the type of the
school, to try to the situation around the lack of qualified IT teachers in the state
educational system.
- To make computer courses more accessible for everyone(price, level of knowledge at the
beginning of the course,age of the students etc.)Introduce at least basic knowledge to
people already working, with little possibility of private studies,through the employers
organization.
- To change the laws setting norms for the disability asesments, pension schemes and
employability of the persons with disability
