Abstract:

Education is an integral part of the life of everyone around the world. In this case, approaches in educational activities in different states are different. This is due to the factors of development of a state.The legal basis of educational activities in different countries are the legal acts that reinforce the foundations of the educational system of a particular state.Historical, political development, as well as the current state of the internal atmosphere in the state have a qualitative influence on the education system, on approaches to educational activities, as well as on the laws that regulate this activity.The thesis is called ‘Legal framework for public education’ particularly about two countries: the Czech Republic and the Russian Federation.In recent years, the Czech Republic has become the Educational Center of Europe for young people from all over the world, especially from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States and / or countries of the former Soviet Union (hereinafter the USSR). This is of some interest, since the Soviet education system was considered one of the best in the world, and many Soviet specialists, after the collapse of the USSR, were widely demanded in the West.After the 90s of the twentieth century, the Russian education system experienced a crisis, which was caused by the internal political, economic and socially acute situation in the country. There was a decline in education. At the same time, the current Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 contains provisions regarding the educational system, thereby laying the legal foundations for the development of education.After graduating from high school, many Russian schoolchildren give priority to foreign educational institutions, among which the Czech Republic occupies the leading place.This trend leads to certain reflections on the best and worst qualities of the educational systems of the two states. It must be emphasized that the basis of any important social relations is the legal norms that regulate these relations. Accordingly, a comparative legal analysis of the legal systems of the two states will help in understanding this situation.
