 Music Edu in Poland
Between the two world wars most of the music education in Poland was run in an old-fashioned, not very ambitious conservatory style and the tendencies to raise the level and the authority of music education was seldom expressed.
The system was separated from the system of general education and children had to attend music schools usually in the afternoon, after their lessons in "normal" schools were over.
The course of primary music education is eight and that of secondary four years, which corresponds to the duration of study at respective levels of general education.

 International Higher Education # 38
A stagnant economy, the inflexibility of the higher education system, the weak correlation between higher education and employment, and low levels of faculty remuneration in the 1980s discouraged many eligible students from participating in higher education and forced many bright academics to leave the country in search of better job prospects abroad.
Higher education policy was also changed to allow institutions to restructure and adjust to the new economic, social, and political situation.
In sum—and this can be a key to private higher education legitimacy—in times of state financial stringency and growing demand for higher education, increasing the accessibility to higher education for low-income students would be hard to achieve without the private higher education sector.

In principle, CE in Poland is formally treated as a parallel to full-time internal studies but in practice CE is seen as a less desirable mode of studying.
Poland signed such agreements with Austria, the former COMECON countries and is currently negotiating a similar agreement with Germany as well as making preliminary talks in that respect with France.
The Ministry of National Education stresses, with reference to the non-government institutions, that it is the internal studies and not CE which represent the major mode of university studies.

We are providing teachers and the academic environment in general a proposed curriculum for a civic education course to be taught in primary and secondary schools.
After many years during which public activity in Poland was stringently regulated by the authorities and critically evaluated by the public, our society exhibits a tendency to divide into small circles of friends and relatives which look upon the political events with a certain degree of detachment.
The educational methods suggested in the lessons plans do not boil down to transmitting abstract and dry information - quite on the contrary, they are meant to engage students psychologically, to arouse their motivation and interest, and to teach them how to think and act independently.

The Eugeniusz Piasecki University School of Physical Education in Poznan is one of the oldest university level schools of physical education in Europe.
In connection with the reform of the educational system it is important to answer the two fundamental questions: 1) what we expect from physical education and how it should support and steer one's development, 2) how the present model of physical education is realised, what does not satisfy and should be changed.
Concluding, the author states: 1) without good, well-intentioned and skilfully run physical education the realisation of modern reforms of the educational system would be totally impossible, 2) the action of bringing about the reform of the educational system should not be reduced to preparation and enforcement even of the best legal acts.
