Poland introduces mandatory education for all Ukrainian children

Starting this school year, all Ukrainian children living in Poland are required to attend school under a new mandate announced by Education Minister Barbara Nowacka.

The move ensures access to a Ukrainian curriculum alongside the Polish one, with penalties for non-compliance including fines and potential loss of social benefits.

Previously, Ukrainian students could opt for distance learning in their homeland or follow a mixed model. However, this change integrates them fully into the Polish education system.

In addition to mandatory Polish studies, Ukrainian children can voluntarily attend classes in their native language, literature, and history if there are available Ukrainian teachers. The optional courses, funded by the Ukrainian government, aim to preserve their cultural identity while helping them adapt to life in Poland.
