„Afirmativní akce“ v lidové demokracii? Mechanismy zvýhodňování cílových skupin v přístupu k ekonomickému vzdělání v Československu po roce 1948

Bachelor thesis deals with positive discrimination processes occuring in czechoslovak higher education after February 1948 on the example of economic education. It analyses ideological background, motivation and specific realization of effort of communist regime to create "new intelligence" from the ranks of working class. Based on the analysis of discriminatory processes introduced in the Czechoslovak Higher Education in the beginning of communist regime, it shows, that purgations, stringency of controls of entering to higher schools through the admissions was not same at all kind of schools and fields. The development of economic education in 1948 and within strictly controlled party College of Political and Economic Sciences shows that it was on the fields, where the regime was strictly focused on. On the basis of this development is to confirm the thesis of Martin Kreidl about ortodox red periods, 1948-1953, which corresponds with the findings about economic education. All in favor of the conclusion that the discriminatory measures had short-term effects on the change in the structure of society. However in the long run these effects subside thanks to people capabilities to circumvent established discriminatory system.
