DISADVANTAGED UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Equal access to education is currently very often discussed and many educational programs are designed for children from socially disadvantaged families and or for disabled people. But how are these students studying at universities? Our paper is aimed at the analyses of disadvantaged students' study including people from socially disadvantaged families, disabled people or young mothers with children. The analysis contains the access of these students to the study, satisfaction with study and school, their living conditions and future plans. We also try to describe students' behaviour and to identify key problems of their study. The analysis also includes recommendation for universities how to improve the learning environment for these types of students and how to eliminate the problems that are usually invisible for "normal" students.
