Education in Poland

The Polish Ministry of Education has launched an information campaign for Ukrainian parents about recent changes in Polish legislation.

“Starting from September 1, 2024, refugee children from Ukraine will be subject to compulsory annual preschool preparation, compulsory schooling, and compulsory education in the Polish educational system, just like Polish students.

In the 2024/2025 school year, only the students in the final class of a secondary school that follows the Ukrainian education system will be able to opt for online learning.

  • The payment of the 800+ and Good Start benefits will depend on the fulfillment of the obligation to educate in a Polish school.
  • Children from Ukraine will continue to have the opportunity to learn the Polish language additionally, for a minimum of 4 hours per week. The period of additional free classes will be extended to 36 months.
  • Additional training, psychological, and pedagogical support will be provided for teachers.
  • Children will be provided with an intercultural assistant.”
