The educational system in Poland is based on several key levels that provide comprehensive education for children and young people. Compulsory education begins at the age of six, when children enter elementary school. Elementary school lasts eight years and is divided into two stages: grades I-IV, which focus on basic skills and knowledge, and grades V-VIII, where students gain more advanced knowledge in various subjects.

After completing elementary school, students have the option of choosing one of two main educational paths.

General secondary school or technical school: Ggeneral secondary school lasts three years and prepares students for the baccalaureate, which is the key final exam for further education at universities.

A technical school, on the other hand, lasts five years and, in addition to general education, offers vocational training, preparing students for work in their chosen profession.Poland's education system also includes a wide range of vocational schools, as well as courses and training that enable students to acquire practical skills in various fields.

After graduating from high school, students can continue their education at higher education institutions - colleges, universities, polytechnics or academies.

Polish higher education offers a variety of majors, whether at the bachelor's, master's or doctoral level.

The educational system in Poland is regulated by the Ministry of Education and Science, which takes care of curricula, educational standards and the organization of the examination system. In recent years, the education system in Poland has undergone a number of reforms aimed at adapting curricula to the changing needs of the labor market and the challenges of the modern world.
