Abstract
Requirements for the training of security specialists, which also takes in the field of emergency management and protection of the public, are changing in response to the changing needs of society. The Czech Republic, acting through its competent ministries, has developed a Concept of Education in emergency Management which was approved by the National Security Council in 2001. Over time, however, these provisions have lost some of their relevance given the needs and rapidly changing demands of society and the security situation. The analysis that has been carried out has confirmed a lack of interconnection and uniformity within educational activities. Therefore, the plan of non-legislative governmental tasks adopted by the Czech Republic for the first half of 2017 aimed to optimise the rules for the training of specialists to bring them into line with current trends and needs. The aim of the updated provision was, in addition to the training of emergency management specialists, to enhance the co-ordination of educational processes, to provide consequent regular information support to trainers, and to provide the opportunity of acquiring lecturing skills and teaching experience. Subsequently, some concerns were voiced that target groups might not be interested in this training, and that the budget for this sector would be reduced. At present, however, adequate systematic branch management is currently lacking in this area in terms of both scale and continuity. The present chapter outlines the gradual development of the education system in emergency management and offers a comparison of educational concepts, emphasising their positive and negative aspects.
