Robert Plaga (born 21 July 1978) is a Czech politician and university teacher who has served as Minister of Education since December 2025 in the third cabinet of Andrej Babiš, and previously from 2017 to 2021 in the second cabinet of Andrej Babiš.

Political career

In December 2011, Plaga joined the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, but later left his position, stating that his ideas about professional management of the agenda did not coincide with the ideas of the ministry.

Between 2012 and 2015, Plaga was the director of the Center for Technology Transfer of Mendel University in Brno.

After the resignation of rector Vojtěch Adam, Plaga was entrusted with the management of Mendel University in the beginning of February 2022 as Deputy Minister of Education. He held the position for two months, before Jan Mareš took over at the end of March 2022.

After leaving ANO, Plaga became Deputy Minister of Education, Youth and Sports in the cabinet of Petr Fiala.

Personal life

Plaga is married to Jana Plagová.
