191 thousand Ukrainian children are studying in Poland during the military conflict

According to the Ministry, formations Poland available at the end of 2022, over 191 thousand refugee children attend Polish schools. Three times as many are trained online without any educational support and integration with local ones.

According to the Ministry of Education, out of 1.5 million refugees remaining in the republic, 700-800 thousand are women and almost the same number are children. This means that only 25% of children attend Polish schools.

Now, in general, the resources of Poles and the government are being depleted, and therefore assistance to refugees is being reduced.

The Polish Ministry of Education says that children from Ukraine are accepted into schools and kindergartens on the same conditions as the Poles. And according to the documents, everything is so. The Law on Education clarifies that the responsibilities of education and care in state kindergartens, primary and secondary schools should be fulfilled in relation to all children, including those who are not citizens of Poland.

However, at the end of March 2022, the head of the educational department Przemyslaw Charnek issued a decree according to which the state does not take responsibility for Ukrainian students who continue to study in the Ukrainian education system remotely. In Kyiv, they categorically insist that those who left do not drop out in their country.

In addition, the Polish department immediately indicated: if someone enters a Polish school, he will participate in the local education system. That is, he will study national literature, biology and mathematics only in Polish.

Ukrainian children who entered local schools had to take exams in Polish. They received instructions translated into Ukrainian, but the test itself was from the main curriculum of Poland.
