EDUCATION SYSTEM IN POLAND

· General information

Since 1999, following a reform of the system of education there are the following types of schools in Poland:

6-year primary school

3-year junior high

high schools (lyceum, technikum)

higher education

 

The total number of years of primary and secondary education is 12 or 13. At the end of the secondary education cycle students can take the maturity examination - (matura exam), i.e. standardized national secondary school achievement examination, and receive the maturity certificate .

Education in Poland is compulsory until the age of 18. Full-time compulsory education starts during the calendar year in which the child reaches 7 years of age ( since 2012 the age will be 6 years of age) and lasts until the end of the junior high school, yet no longer then he/she reaches 18 years of age. Attending of both primary and junior high schools is obligatory.

22

PRIMARY EDUCATIONThe reformed 6-year primary school, introduced in the school year 1999/2000 under the Act of 8 January 1999 on the

Implementation of the Education System Reform, is divided into 2 stages:

• Stage I covers grades 1,2 and 3, and is called integrated teaching .Teaching at this stage is designed to ensure

smooth transition from pre-school to school education.

• Stage II covers grades 4,5 and 6 with final 6 th grader exam .

Teaching at the latter stage is arranged in subjects listed in the outline timetable: Polish language, history and

civics, modern foreign language, mathematics, natural science, music, art, technology, computer sciences,

physical education, religion or ethics.

In addition to separate subjects, the following "educational paths" have been introduced at this stage: health

education, ecological education, reading and media education, education for society, education for family life,

cultural heritage of the region, patriotic and civic education

The school head is responsible for the inclusion of these paths in the curricula implemented by particular teachers.

No special test or examination is envisaged between stages 1 and 2, but for internal competence tests. Class

composition is based on the age of pupils.

23

SECONDARY EDUCATION

In the framework of the education system reform in 1999 three-year junior high schools were established as a first

(lower) level of the secondary school. Since 2002 upper secondary schools have been operational.

• Lower Secondary Education: Junior high offers 3-years of full-time general lower secondary education for pupils

who completed the reformed 6-year primary school. It is compulsory for all pupils. The junior high is targeted at

pupils aged 13 to 16 and is considered the last stage (Stage 3) of general compulsory education.It provides

education by subjects, the widest possible variety, but at the basic level. One of the aims of this stage is to identify

the abilities and interests of the pupils and to help them make a rational choice of a further education route.

• Upper Secondary Education: the age of pupils in upper secondary education- high schools is between 16 and

18/19/20 years. The upper secondary education is not divided into cycles.

24
