Education

The education system in the Czech Republic is based on compulsory school attendance and is also accessible to the children of foreign nationals residing in the country. Education takes place at several levels – from preschools and elementary schools to secondary schools and universities. Parents are responsible for ensuring compulsory school attendance and cooperating with the school. In Tachov, preschools and elementary schools are divided into school districts; children are generally admitted to a school according to their place of residence.
