Secondary schools across the Moravian-Silesian region are preparing for a new school year with about 55,000 students. They are expanding their capacity as demographic changes and labor-market demands reshape the choices available to young people.
The regional government is putting millions of Czech koruna into scholarship programs designed to support skilled trades that lack workers. The push reflects growing interest in practical occupations, even as grammar schools and IT programs continue to attract strong demand.
Healthcare training is also among the areas being strengthened. Schools are responding by increasing places and broadening their offer, including Polish-language instruction in some programs.
