Annotation	The thesis aims to support the discussion in the area of educational experiences of refugee children in the Czech Republic and simultaneously, to reﬂect the practice of countries with long experience with international migration. The thesis builds on a case study of a group of resettled Burmese refugees in the Czech Republic and poses the question whether these children and their families have the possibility to fully enjoy the right to education embedded in many international conventions on human rights as well as the Czech legislation. The theoretical framework of the research derives from the concepts of the right to education, quality education and inclusive education. They are harnessed to define requisites for full participation of refugee children in education in the Czech Republic, which form the basic structure of the empirical research. It identiﬁes six major barriers which the research participants face within the education process ( lack of information, insuﬃcient teachers’ qualiﬁcation, ﬁnancial obstacles, inadequate support provision etc). The thesis also turns to the future directions and maps the options how the fulﬁlment of the right to (inclusive) education for refugee children in the Czech Republic. The eﬀective information transfer among all stakeholders is at its core. The elaborated logic model, which follows, represents the peak of the thesis and summarises the discussed variables and their inﬂuence on the current situation in education of the resettled group of refugees.
