Prime Minister Andrej Babiš affirmed his confidence in Minister of Education Robert Plaga before departing for a meeting of European Union leaders. Representatives of the governing coalition in the Czech Republic reached an agreement on Wednesday regarding the amendment to the financing of teaching assistants. The revised legislation concerning inclusive education is slated for approval by the government on Monday. Babiš stated he was informed about the coalition representatives’ discussions, though he lacked the time to review the specifics. The agreement signals progress on a key policy issue within the Czech government. This development arrives ahead of further discussions with other European Union officials.
