The Educational Research Institute – National Research Institute is organising a grant competition. We invite public post-secondary schools (as defined by Article 14(1) of the Act on Education Law) that provide education in the professions included in the classification of vocational education professions to participate.

More than 200 specialists will soon start working on the core curriculum for pre-school and general education in primary school. A total of 500 people had previously expressed their interest in participating.

“Microcredentials, collegial cooperation, diagnostic testing – such methods of assessment motivate on the one hand and teach on the other,” said Dr. Tomasz Gajderowicz, deputy director of IBE PIB, during the seminar “Evaluating for Development”, held on February 25 in Cracow.

The event was an opportunity to define the role of school superintendents and school inspectors in promoting inclusive practices in education using materials developed in the project implemented by IBE PIB.

The Educational Research Institute (IBE PIB) is starting work on developing the profile of post-primary school graduates. This will be a document defining the key competencies and skills that a person should have after completing education at this level.

The PISA 2025 main survey in schools will begin on March 3. Teams of PISA interviewers will conduct the survey in randomly selected post-primary schools and several primary schools across Poland.

We would like to thank teachers for filling out nearly 24,000 questionnaires and nearly 4,000 participants in meetings, consultations and regional debates on planned changes to the core curriculum for preschool and primary school. The total number of people who spoke about the proposals for changes in education has reached almost 28,000!

The Council for monitoring the implementation of education reform has adopted a position on the new format of the core curriculum. After analysing the comments and discussions at the meeting on February 19, the experts gave a positive opinion on the way in which the core curriculum, proposed by IBE PIB, should be constructed to facilitate changes in education.  “This is a great day for Polish education, when we show that we can think about education together. This is a good prognosis for the changes to come,” assessed the Vice-Chairperson of the Council, Deputy Director of IBE PIB Dr. Tomasz Gajderowicz.
