Abstrakt
The contribution presents research focused on the education of children at a children's home, on the overall process of their schooling. A child living in his/her biological family is forty times more likely to achieve an academic degree than a child who passed through institutional care.
This is due to unfavourable conditions for a start in life, as well as unfavourable genetic predispositions. The aim was to find out what is the highest level of education completed by the respondents, how they were motivated to study by their surroundings, and how they were evaluated at elementary school.
In view of the target, a qualitative research strategy was chosen.
