The political system in Poland is defined by the Constitution of 2 April In accordance with the Constitution, the legislative power is exercised by a twochamber Parliament which consists of the Sejm and the Senat, elected for a 4-year term. The Sejm is the lower chamber of the Parliament and consists of 460 deputies elected in the proportional elections. It exercises the legislative power and supervises the government. The Senat, the upper chamber of the Parliament re-established in 1989, comprises 100 senators elected by the majority vote. Its legislative power is limited to the right to initiate legislation. It may also accept, amend or reject bills passed by the Sejm. The executive power is exercised by the President and the Council of Ministers. The President of Poland is the supreme representative of the State and safeguards its sovereignty and security, and the integrity of the territory. He also ensures observance of the Constitution. The president is elected by the Nation in universal, equal and direct elections for a 5-year term. The Council of Ministers is responsible for internal affairs and foreign policy and manages the government administration. The Council is responsible for all policies which are not reserved for other state or local government bodies. The territorial organisation of the Polish state ensures the decentralisation of the public authorities. Since 1999 the area of Poland is divided into 16 provincesvoivodeships (województwo), 379 districts (powiat) and 2,479 communes (gmina). Voivodes (governors of province wojewoda) represent the Council of Ministers in particular voivodeships and supervise institutions performing tasks entrusted to the state. Regional pedagogical authorities (kuratorium oświaty) are the part of regional administration and are responsible for pedagogical supervision over schools. Governance at regional level is the responsibility of local government bodies: the voivode and the local government assembly (sejmik wojewódzki). The local government takes part in exercising public authority. A major part of the local government s public tasks is performed in its own name and on its own responsibility. 58 INTRODUCTION: GENERAL POLICY CONTEXT As laid down in the Constitution, the commune is a basic local government body. Its responsibilities include all public matters of local importance which are not assigned to the organs of other public authorities. It is responsible for fulfilling the needs of the local community in the following areas: healthcare, welfare, culture and education. It is responsible for administering kindergartens, primary schools and lower secondary schools. The district is the second level of local government. The district supports the commune in performing all functions which extend beyond the capacity and remit of the latter. It is responsible for administering upper secondary schools and hospitals, managing public roads, combating unemployment, as well as for the protection of consumers rights. The self-governing voivodeship is the third level of local government. Its responsibilities include regional economic and social development as well as the establishment and administration of public initial and in-service teachers training institutions, educational resources centres, and schools and institutions operating at regional and supraregional levels. Its scope of activities does not interfere with the independence of the district and the commune. DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION In Poland, 38.2 million people inhabit an area of square kilometres. The average density of population is 122 persons per square kilometre. The low birth rate in the 1990s and a high level of emigration, noted especially since 2004 (mostly among young people), will soon lead to increasing difficulties in the demographic development, on the labour market and in the social security system. According to the long-range population projections for up to 2035, the population of Poland will decrease steadily and the rate of this decrease will grow over time. The Polish society will also experience the process of ageing and consequently the proportion of post-working-age population will increase. OFFICIAL AND MINORITY LANGUAGES The Polish language is the official language in Poland this is stated in the Constitution and in the Act on the Polish Language. If compared to other European countries, Poland is very homogenous as regards nationality. It is estimated that no more than 3 % of the total population is constituted by national minorities. The minorities right to protect, retain and develop their cultural identity is guaranteed by the Constitution and by the Act of 6 January 2005 on Ethnic and National Minorities and on the Regional Language. The Act includes as follows: 69 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND nine national minorities: Byelorussian, Czech, Lithuanian, German, Armenian, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian and Jewish four ethnic minorities: Karaim, Lemko, Romany and Tatar. one community using the regional language of Kashubian. The rights of ethnic and national minorities with respect to learning the minority language or education in the minority language as well as the right to learn about the history and culture of the minority are exercised on the basis of the principles laid down in the School Education Act of 7 September According to the School Education Act, a public school supports pupils in preserving their national, ethnic, linguistic and religious identity, with particular emphasis on history and culture. At parents request, the teaching may be organised in separate groups, classes and schools; groups, classes and schools with additional language, history and culture classes; interschool teaching units. 710 The system of Education in Poland przedszkole szkoła podstawowa gimnazjum liceum jednolite studia magisterskie ogólnokształcące oddziały przedszkolne studia I stopnia studia II stopnia KN / NKJO / KPSS Pre-primary ISCED 0 Primary ISCED 1 Lower secondary general ISCED 2 Upper secondary general ISCED 3 Upper secondary vocational ISCED 3 Post-secondary non-tertiary ISCED 4 Tertiary education ISCED 5A Tertiary education ISCED 5B szkoły policealne liceum profilowane technikum zasadnicza liceum uzupełniające szkoła zawodowa technikum uzupełniające Compulsory full-time education Compulsory part-time education11 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING Organisation The main legal basis for the school education and higher education systems is provided by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Its provisions referring to fundamental freedoms and citizens rights state that: every person has the right to education. Education is compulsory until the age of 18. The manner in which compulsory education is received is regulated by an act of Parliament; education in public schools is free of charge. An act of Parliament may allow public higher education institutions (HEIs) to charge fees for providing educational services; parents are free to choose schools other than public for their children. Citizens and institutions have the right to establish primary, lower secondary, upper secondary and post-secondary schools and HEIs as well as childcare centres. An act of Parliament lays down the conditions for establishing and administering non-public schools, the contribution of public authorities in terms of funding and the principles of pedagogical supervision over schools and childcare centres; public authorities provide citizens with general and equal access to education. Towards this end, they establish and support individual financial and organisational support systems for pupils and students. The conditions for providing support are laid down by an act of Parliament; the autonomy of HEIs is ensured in accordance with the principles laid down in an act of Parliament; In accordance with the School Education Act of 7 September 1991 the education system comprises pre-school institutions as well as primary, lower secondary, upper secondary and post-secondary schools. In the light of the existing law, institutions of higher education form a separate higher education system or sector. The Polish school education system is based on the following legislation (parliamentary acts): The School Education Act of 7 September 1991 (with further amendments) 912 1. ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING The Act of 8 January 1999 on the Implementation of the Education System Reform (with further amendments) The Act of 26 January 1982 Teachers Charter (with further amendments) The higher education system in Poland is based on the following legislation (parliamentary acts): The Act of 27 July 2005 Law on Higher Education (with further amendments) The Act of 14 March 2003 on Academic Degrees and Title and on Degrees and Title in Art The Act of 17 July 1998 on Loans and Credits for Students (with further amendments). COMPULSORY EDUCATION Compulsory education is divided into: A. one-year pre-school preparation; B. full-time education in school settings that lasts until the completion of lower secondary school (typically 16 years of age), but not beyond the age of 18; C. part-time education until the age of 18 in school or non-school settings. The one-year compulsory pre-school preparation for 6-year olds was introduced in the school year 2004/05. As from the school year 2011/12, one preparatory year is compulsory for 5-year old children and may be completed in kindergartens (przedszkole), pre-school classes in primary schools (oddziały przedszkolne) or in alternative pre-school education settings. Optional pre-school education is offered to children at the age of 3 and above. In 2011 pre-school education became compulsory for 5-year-old children. 6-year-old children attend either a kindergarten or pre-school classes in primary schools. As from the school year 1999/2000, children between the ages of 7 and 13 attend a 6-year primary school (szkoła podstawowa) (the previous 8-year single structure at primary level ceased to exist in 2000). The amendment to the School Education Act of 1991 made primary school education compulsory also for 6-year-old children. This change, however, has been implemented gradually i.e. from 2009 to 2013 it is still optional, whereas in 2014 it will become compulsory for this age group. Primary education is divided into two stages: the first stage (grades 1 to 3) offering integrated early school education, and the second stage (grades 4 to 6) at which subject-based teaching is provided. At the end of the 6-year primary school, pupils take an external compulsory test (set by the Regional Examination Boards and assessed by examiners selected by these boards). The external test, which is designed to provide information (and is not an examination), was conducted for the first time in April As from 1999/2000, all primary school leavers continue their education in the 3-year general lower secondary school (gimnazjum). At the end of lower secondary education, pupils take a compulsory external examination organised by Regional Examination Boards. 1013 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND POST-COMPULSORY EDUCATION UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION Lower secondary school graduates can continue their education in the following types of schools: 3-year general upper secondary school (liceum ogólnokształcące) leading to the receipt of the matriculation certificate (świadectwo maturalne) upon passing of the external matriculation exam (Matura); 3-year specialised upper secondary school (liceum profilowane) offering education in specializations of general vocational education that leads to the receipt of the matriculation certificate upon passing of the matriculation exam. This type of school is being phased out; no admission is possible as from 2012; 4-year technical upper secondary school (technikum) leading to the receipt of a diploma confirming vocational qualifications upon passing of an examination, and also offering a possibility of the receipt of the matriculation certificate upon passing of the matriculation exam; 3-year basic vocational school (zasadnicza szkoła zawodowa) that leads to the receipt of a diploma confirming vocational qualifications upon passing of an exam as well as further education in a 2-year supplementary general upper secondary school (uzupełniające liceum ogólnokształcące) or a 3-year supplementary technical upper secondary school (technikum uzupełniające) that also lead to the receipt of the matriculation certificate upon passing of the matriculation exam. However, as from 2012, these types of schools are being phased out and admission is not possible anymore. Basic vocational school leavers may continue their education in the adult education settings; 3-year special schools preparing pupils with disabilities (special educational needs) for employment leading to the receipt of a certificate confirming preparation for employment. POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION Graduates of general upper secondary schools can, upon an admission interview, continue their education in a post-secondary school of maximum 2.5 years duration that leads to the receipt of a diploma confirming vocational qualifications upon passing of an examination. HIGHER EDUCATION Graduates of upper secondary schools in Poland who hold the matriculation certificate have a wide variety of educational possibilities at the level of tertiary education: 1114 1. ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING college programmes (ISCED 5B), provided by public and non-public teacher training colleges (kolegium nauczycielskie), foreign language teacher training colleges (nauczycielskie kolegium języków obcych) and colleges of social work (kolegium pracowników służb społecznych), degree programmes (ISCED 5A), provided by both public and non-public universitytype and non-university higher education institutions which comply with relevant requirements, including: first-cycle (Bachelor s degree) programmes; second-cycle (Master s degree) programmes; long-cycle (Master s degree) programmes. Holders of a Master s degree or equivalent may apply to third-cycle programmes i.e. doctoral studies that provide advanced knowledge in a specific area or discipline of science, and prepare for independent and creative research and for the award of a doctoral degree. Holders of Bachelor s or Master s degrees may also follow nondegree post-graduate programmes that typically last one or two years. For more information see section Distribution of responsibilities The Ministry of National Education is responsible for nearly the whole system of education, with the exception of higher education which is under the supervision of the Minister of Science and Higher Education (as from May 2006). Vocational schools, which in the past were supervised by other ministries, are now the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education. At present, only a few schools, namely artistic only with respect to artistic subjects, as well as correctional institutions are under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Justice respectively. The reform of the State administration system and the education reform assume that only the national educational policy will be developed and carried out centrally, while the administration of education and the running of schools, pre-school institutions and other educational establishments are decentralised. The responsibility for the administration of public pre-primary and primary schools as well as lower secondary schools has been delegated to local authorities (communes). It has become the statutory responsibility of districts to administer upper secondary schools, artistic and special schools. Voivodeships have a coordinating function, supervising the implementation of the Ministry s policy and being responsible for pedagogical supervision. 1215 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND School education CENTRAL LEVEL The responsibility for the administration of the school education system rests with the Minister of National Education and the deputy ministers (the secretary of state and under-secretaries of state). The director general is responsible for the efficient functioning of the ministry as the institution supporting the minister. Deputy ministers are responsible for matters such as school education, economic aspects of the education system and international co-operation. The Minister co-ordinates and pursues the national education policy, co-operates in this respect with regional authorities and other organisational units responsible for the school education system, organises national competitions for pupils, and may also award contracts for the organisation of such competitions to higher education institutions, research institutes, academic and professional associations or other institutions. By way of regulation, the Minister lays down: requirements and procedures for admission to schools, and for transfers between schools; rules for the provision of education to Polish citizens children temporarily staying abroad, and for the support to teach history, geography and the Polish language to the Polish community abroad; the range of services and allowances provided to Polish teachers working abroad; outline timetables; core curricula for pre-school education, general education and general vocational education for specific occupations; rules for assessing and promoting pupils, and for conducting tests and examinations; record-keeping methods concerning the teaching process and educational activities, as well as the types of these records; rules and conditions for innovation and experimental activities in schools; organisational arrangements for the school year; organisational arrangements and procedures for contests and competitions in specific school subjects; requirement standards for the examination confirming vocational qualifications; arrangements for counselling and guidance in schools; rules and conditions for the organisation of tourist and sightseeing activities undertaken by schools; rules for the remuneration of examiners and teachers. On the 6 of March 2008 the Minister of National Education established the National Education Council which has 9 members former deputy ministers of education. 1316 1. ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING This council has an advisory capacity only and is the support body to the Minister of National Education. REGIONAL LEVEL The regional authorities in Poland are placed at the level of voivodeship. Education superintendent Education superintendents (kurator oświaty) are chief pedagogical supervision officers at the regional level. They are responsible for general administration of education in particular voivodeships. They are regional administration officials appointed and supervised by the voivode subordinate to the Prime Minister. The education superintendent implements the policy of the Minister of National Education. On behalf of the voivode, the superintendent is responsible for the implementation of tasks defined in the School Education Act and in the regulations relevant to particular voivodeships. The most important task is pedagogical supervision over public and non-public schools, including central in-service teacher training institutions located in particular voivodeships. At the motion of the regional education superintendent, the voivode can establish representations, or branches, of the superintendent s office (delegatura) for smaller areas of particular voivodeships. The head of such a branch receives relevant powers from the superintendent. Local government bodies Local government bodies at regional level are responsible for administering the following types of educational institutions: teacher training colleges, foreign language teacher training colleges, colleges of social work in-service teacher training institutions, educational resources centres, schools and other related educational institutions operating at regional and supraregional levels. DISTRICT LEVEL The district (powiat) is an intermediate administrative unit between the voivodeship and the commune. District authorities are responsible for running the following types of public schools and other related educational institutions: special primary and special lower secondary schools, post-compulsory (i.e. upper secondary and post-secondary) schools, sports schools, and schools for sport champions, as well as residential special 1417 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND schools (ośrodki szkolno-wychowawcze), reclamation centres (młodzieżowe ośrodki wychowawcze), sociotherapy centres (młodzieżowe ośrodki socjoterapii), counselling and guidance centres (poradnie psychologiczno-pedagogiczne), residential special upbringing centres (specjalne ośrodki wychowawcze), remedial centres for children and youth with profound mental retardation and multiple disabilities (ośrodki rewalidacyjno-wychowawcze). Pedagogical supervision is excluded from their control it is the responsibility of the education superintendent (see: Regional level above). LOCAL LEVEL The commune (gmina) level in Poland is the lowest level in administrative division. It is responsible for establishing and administering: public kindergartens and special kindergartens, primary schools and lower secondary schools (except for special primary and lower secondary schools, art schools, and schools at prisons, youth detention centres and hostels for underage young people). Pedagogical supervision over these types of institutions is the responsibility of the education superintendent. INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL School head The head of a school or a kindergarten is appointed by the school managing body, through open competition, for a five-year term. In justified cases, in agreement with the education superintendent, the school head may be appointed for a shorter period, but the minimum duration of the term is one school year. Where the school statutes provide for the positions of deputy school head and other management positions, management staff are appointed by the school head after consultation with the school council, the teachers council and the school managing body, e.g. the commune or the district. Responsibilities of the school head include in particular: managing the school and representing it externally; exercising pedagogical supervision over the school; taking care of pupils and creating conditions for their harmonious psychological and physical development through various health promoting activities; implementing the resolutions of the school council or the teachers council (adopted within their remit); being in charge of funding and responsible for its proper use; organising practical teaching placements for higher education students in cooperation with higher education institutions and teacher training institutions; being responsible for the proper organisation and conduct of tests and exams in the school; 1518 1. ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING creating conditions for activities to be undertaken by volunteers, associations and other organisations, in particular scouting organisations, whose statutory aims include providing educational activities or extending the range of educational and care activities at a given school. Teachers council A teachers council should be established in every school and another related educational institution employing at least 3 teachers. This council is a collegial body concerned with the implementation of statutory tasks related to education and care. The teachers council includes the following members: teachers employed in the school, staff employed in outside institutions offering practical vocational training to pupils of the school, and staff responsible for education and care of pupils in boarding schools who are employed as teachers and care takers. The school head is the head of school s teachers council. The decision-making powers of the teachers council include in particular: approving school activity plans, following an opinion given by the school council; adopting resolutions on the results of pupils assessment and promotion; adopting resolutions on teaching innovations and experiments in the school, following an opinion given by the school council; adopting organisational arrangements for in-service training of teachers in the school; adopting resolutions to strike pupils from the register of pupils. The teachers council drafts the school statutes or any amendments to such statutes and presents them to the school council. The teachers council can apply for dismissal of a teacher from the post of a school head, or any other managerial position in that school. School council The school council can operate in schools and other related educational institutions. It participates in solving school internal problems and is involved in various school internal issues (e.g. approval of school statutes, giving opinions on the school financial plan and school activity plan). The school council includes (in equal numbers) elected teachers, parents and pupils. School councils in primary schools do not include pupils and participation by pupils in lower secondary schools is not obligatory. The council should include a minimum of 6 members. The school council decides on its internal regulations and elects its chairman. The school head can participate in the council meetings in an advisory capacity. Parents council Parents council represents all the pupils parents and can operate in schools and other related educational institutions. The parents council establishes its own regulations 1619 THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION IN POLAND for activities and it can cooperate on the basis of jointly established procedures. Parents council can issue motions related to all school matters to the school head and other school bodies, to the school running body or the body responsible for pedagogical supervision. It can also issue opinions on the programme and time table for improvement of efficiency in teaching or care at the school, and issue opinions on the financial plan proposed by the school head. A national level council of parents was established on the 14th of March It includes the representatives of the most active parent groups and experts. In order to increase the parents influence on school matters, the Parents Council s role is to consult and issue opinions on problems arising in the cooperation between parents and schools. Pupils self-government Pupils self-government operates in schools and is established by all pupils in a given school. The rules concerning the election and functioning of self-government bodies are defined in the regulations established by all pupils in an equal, secret and popular vote. The self-government bodies are the only bodies representing all pupils. The regulations concerning pupils self-government cannot contradict to the school statutes. The self-government can propose motions to the school council, pedagogical council and school head which concern school matters, and in particular those related to the fulfilment of basic rights of pupils such as the right to open and justified assessment of learning and conduct, the right to publish a school newspaper, and organise cultural, educational, sports and entertainment events according to the pupils needs and the organisational capacity of the school Higher education CENTRAL LEVEL The Minister of Science and Higher Education is responsible for higher education and scientific research, as well as for formulating educational policy with respect to higher education with the support from the General Council of Science and Higher Education. The following matters are under the supervision of the Minister of Science and Higher Education: development of research in Poland, studies for degree students and PhD students functioning of higher education institutions. The Minister supervises the activities of higher education institutions (HEIs) in respect of their compliance with the law, their statutes and the permit granted for the establishment of a non-public HEI, as well as the propriety of expenditure of public 1720 1. ORGANISATION OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING funds. The Minister may request information and clarification from the bodies of a HEI and the founder of a non-public HEI, and may conduct inspections of HEIs. Consultation and support institutions In addition to higher education institutions, the higher education system in Poland includes also a host of organisations performing consultation and advisory functions. The most prominent of these are: the General Council of Science and Higher Education (Rada Główna Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego RGNSW) which volunteers its own opinions and proposals in all matters relating to higher education and science, and also presents its opinions on the draft state budget and proposed draft legislation; the Polish Accreditation Committee (Polska Komisja Akredytacyjna PKA) which performs a crucial role in higher education quality assurance. The primary responsibilities of the PKA include: assessing the quality of education in fields of study, including compliance with the requirements for the provision of degree programmes; reviewing applications for the establishment of higher education institutions; and reviewing applications of higher education institutions for the authorisation to provide degree programmes in a given field and at a given level of study. The PKA s opinions and evaluations are submitted to the minister responsible for higher education. Degree programmes to be assessed in individual institutions are identified by the PKA on an annual basis. In justified cases, the minister responsible for higher education may also request the PKA to assess the quality of education in a specific institution. the Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland (Konferencja Rektorów Akademickich Szkół Polskich KRASP) and the Conference of Rectors of Vocational Schools in Poland (Konferencja Rektorów Zawodowych Szkół Polskich KRZaSP), both of which play a particularly significant role in shaping the entire higher education system in terms of the its constituent institutions comprising it and of the governance of higher education. The powers of both Conferences in the area of governance are especially important. They also have a say in developing the financing principles and the rules governing the operation of higher education institutions, specifically as regards executive regulations that accompany legal acts; the Parliament of the Students of the Republic of Poland which focuses on student issues; the National Representation of Doctoral Students which deals with issues relating to this category of students; trade unions operating in higher education institutions, represented by their national sections for higher education. Two unions enjoy a particularly powerful 18 View more
