The paper presents the main research findings and recommendations concerning the implementation of curricular reform in upper-secondary comprehensive schools. The authors analyse ten problem areas of curricular reform, as they were captured in the Kvalitní škola research project. (1) There is no (shared) understanding of the key ideas and concepts of the reform; (2) Discussing the reform: participants and their non-voices; (3) The problem of language, of ’understanding’; (4) Doubts about what is being reformed; (5) When what-is-being-implemented has been implemented: the problem of coordination; (6) Conditions of implementation; (7) Ambiguous acceptation of the reform on the part of teachers; (8) Two-level curriculum: state-level and school-level curriculum as the key elements of the reform; (9) Teachers making a curriculum: doubts and hesitation; (10) Realising curriculum: formalism or a route to the new culture of teaching and learning. Towards the end of the paper, the authors summarise recommendations for the participants on different levels of the reform. They also suggest an outlook for future research in this area.

The paper presents an analytical study that is concluded with an intended agenda setting. The “issue” of Czech curricular reform is defined on the theoretical level and analysed on the empirical level; moreover, its relationship to the culture of teaching and learning is described. At first, the current Czech curricular reform is viewed from the perspective of a broader context of educational transformation; its focus and character are discussed. The timing of the reform is addressed, using the equalizer of governance, i.e. an analysis of broader mechanisms of functioning of and operating the educational system. Central to the paper is the author’s claim that the reform can hardly improve the quality of teaching and learning as its implementation resulted in unmanageable formalism. The author asserts that the quality can only be improved through sustained support of the productive culture of teaching and learning. To realise a change is thus to work on the new – productive – culture of teaching and learning. The study ends with an overview of arguments that confirm the need for an agenda setting that would aim at developing the curricular reform into a systematic approach to supporting schools and teachers’ professional development which would take into account the idea of productive culture of teaching and learning.
