EDUCATION IN POLAND2012

The inspection of teaching standards in Polish schools comes directly

under the Ministry of Education and is represented by a regional

administrative body (kuratorium).

The compulsory school age is from seven to sixteen.

When children are seven they go to the primary school and learn there

for six years.

They learn subjects such as: languages, Maths, Music, Art, Science, History and Physical

Education.

Younger pupils from 7 to 9 get a descriptive mark for their

achievements from their tutor. Older students get marks from 1 to

6 from their all teachers. The 6 mark is the best grade.

In the sixth class students take their

first exam.

Then, students go to the junior high school.

It lasts for three years.

In this school students learn subjects such as Chemistry, Social studies, Biology and Geography. In the last year of this school students take their final exam. It consists of two parts: humanistic and science.

After that, students who want to go to univeristy, go to a high secondary school or a technical school and learn there for three or four years. Then, most of them take Matura-exam which is also an entrance exam to university.

Universities require positive results of Matura-exam and good common
