摘要：The article is dealing with regional distribution of participation rate in pre-primary education measured by the ratio of children enrolled in pre-primary education and the total number of children aged 3–5 years (age interval corresponding to pre-primary education in the Czech Republic). The analysis focuses mainly on the factors which influenced regional distribution of the participation rate most strongly. These included demographic,socio-geographic and socio-economic indicators,but also an indicator measuring the actual level of meeting the demand for pre-primary education (the percentage of rejected applications for the participation of a child in pre-primary education). The indicators significantly correlating with the variable to be explained (rate of participation in pre-primary education) were subjected to factor analysis. Based on its results,factors with the biggest influence on regional variation were identified. Furthermore,groups of regions with similar characteristics were identified through the use of cluster analysis. Characteristic values of factors in these groups also indicated similar approaches of parents in these regions to pre-primary education of their children.
