Challenges and Solutions in V4 Education: Poland

What are the objectives, main values and fundamental contents of education in Poland? What changes have been noticeable recently?

What is the role of classical approaches to education in Polish higher education and what good practices can be seen in university education?

What are the differences between Hungarian and Polish approaches to higher education, and what can we learn from each other? What is the role of elite education in the age of mass education growth?

Recent education reforms in Poland have been criticised by many experts. The abolition of homework and the recently introduced "past and present" school subject have also provoked many dissents.

The podium will also discuss the statement issued by the Hungarian-Polish Joint Committee of Historians of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) due to the erased contents of Hungarian-Polish historical connections in the 2024 Polish curriculum reform.

Guests:

Liliana Smiech - Director General for International Affairs at the National University of Public Service, Chairwoman of the Foundation Council at the Warsaw Institute.
Filip Ludwin - Doctor of Law, head of the publishing department at the Ordo Iuris Institute, and editor-in-chief of The Legal Culture journal.
Enikő Szakos - Researcher in the Learning Institute.
Richárd Fodor - Researcher, in the Learning Institute.
