Revolutionary Changes in Polish Education: the New Education System in Poland Anna Boguslawa Kochan

In my previous book, "The Decade of Uncertainty" I analyzed social, political, and economic changes in postcommunist Poland. In this book I present the great metamorphosis of the Polish education system in the last 20 years. The fall of communism enabled deep societal changes, which in turn,triggered massive restructuring of education. The years 1990-2010 became an unprecedented laboratory for tracing revolutionary changes in Polish education. In this volume, I focus on new educational structures in Poland, discussing in detail successful modifications in elementary and secondary tiers of Polish education.
