In an age of enlightenment
Article Abstract:
The educational system in Poland has undergone many changes particularly since Poland applied to join the European Union. Foreign teachers and private schools are working hard to improve the quality of education. Teachers face the problem of students who are not practiced in expressing their own opinions. Lecturers in Polish universities often give students difficult tests in order to boost their own status. The government tried to raise the quality of teaching by making teachers take courses as a result many left state schools to work in the private sector.
