What Stálá konference pro vzdělávání does

Stálá konference pro vzdělávání (SKAV) is a Czech non-profit umbrella organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in Kladno, Czech Republic. It functions as a coordinating platform uniting 37 diverse member associations and organizations active in progressive education reform, including teacher associations (Učitel naživo), school networks (Montessori ČR, Waldorf Schools, JA Czech), and advocacy NGOs (Post Bellum, Lipka, EDUin). SKAV's core activities center on convening monthly public round tables (Kulaté stoly) in partnership with EDUin, organizing an annual conference ("Úspěch pro každého žáka"), publishing expert policy positions, and coordinating advocacy on education reform. Its flagship current focus is the revision of Framework Educational Programmes (RVP), including a dedicated working group established in 2021 and participation in the National Curriculum Council since 2025. SKAV also serves as the backbone organization of Partnerství pro vzdělávání 2030+, a coalition of seven roof platforms implementing Czech Education Policy Strategy 2030+.

The organization operates without proprietary technology products, relying on a standard website (skav.cz), social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and email newsletters to disseminate content. All public-facing activities (round tables, conferences, publications) are offered free of charge and accessible without registration, reflecting SKAV's non-commercial mission. The core value proposition is consensus-building among fragmented education stakeholders, codified through the Desatero SKAV (Ten Principles of Education, 2015) value framework.

SKAV's business model is grant-funded and non-commercial. It is registered as a z. s. (registered association) under Czech law and does not charge for its public engagement activities. Revenue derives from project-based grants from Czech foundations (Nadace české spořitelny, Nadace Blížesobě, Nadace Jablotron, Nadace OSF Stronger Roots programme) and European funding through Erasmus+. The organization maintains a small staff of approximately 8 employees covering director, office management, advocacy, communications, editorial, and finance/HR functions, supported by a governance structure that includes member-elected leadership and a control committee.
