Better access for foreigners to Czech schools

The lower house of the Czech parliament passed an amendment to the current education law on Tuesday that should make it easier for foreigners to study in the Czech Republic. According to the new regulation, EU citizens as well as foreigners with visas for more than 90 days will be able to attend Czech schools. Children of illegal immigrants should also be able to go to primary school. The Chamber of Deputies passed the new regulation for a second time, after it was rejected by the Senate. It will now be reviewed by the President.
