Veronika Krištůfová

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the situation of primary education in the country of India while mapping its challenges and personal needs according to its own circumstances. It focuses on development projects which seek to help in this field on an international level as well as examining benefits of the local stakeholders. By doing a case study, this thesis tracks one of such projects, led not by an institution but by a group of volunteers. This project is called "Stavíme školu v Indii" and stresses upon building a primary school in a rural area in the state of Bihar. The specific aim of this particular thesis is to determine the quality of the project and the impact that it has on the people that are also involved. Using methods such as questionnaires and open discussions with both members of the team conducting this project and the people the project is targeting with its help, we try to point out the strengths and weaknesses and provide future recommendations. All the data involved in the research was either collected in the place of the project withing Bihar or in the Czech Repulic during the first semester of they year 2016.
