The use of funding from EU resources for construction, renovation and equipment of schools in South Bohemia

The subject of my Master´s Thesis is Use of funding from EU resources for construction, renovation and equipment of schools in South Bohemia. The thesis consists of two parts a theoretical and practical one. The theoretical part contains a description of basic terms concerning Structural Funds and Operational Programmes (OP) that schools gain financial means through. Special attention is paid to OP Living environment, OP Education and competitiveness and to Regional Operational Programme South-west, too. The theoretical part includes a procedure from planning, over realization and monitoring to checking of the project applying for support of funds of the European Union. The practical part is focused on use of theoretical knowledge in practice and on analysis of present state of using grants by schools in the South-bohemian district. A factual example how a school applies for financial support and what requirements must be submitted and met by an applicant is given at the end of the practical part. Results of this Master´s thesis can help to comprehend problems concerned and to simplify for schools administration connected with applying for European grants.
