EDUCATION IN POLAND
Since the Reform of 1999, compulsory education in Poland starts at the
age of five or six for the 0 class of kindergarten and six to seven years in
the 1st grade of primary school. The law requires that children complete
one year of formal education before entering 1st grade and do so by age 7.
At the end of 6th grade when the students are 13, they take a compulsory
exam that will determine to which lower secondary school (Middle
School/Junior High) they will be accepted. They will attend this school for
three years for grades, 7, 8, and 9. They then take another compulsory
exam to determine the upper secondary level school they will attend.
There are several alternatives from then on, the most common
being the three years in a high school or four years in a
technical school. Both end with a maturity examination, and
may be followed by several forms of upper education, leading
to Bachelor
(the Polish Bologna Process first cycle
qualification), Master (the Polish Bologna Process second
cycle qualification) and eventually PhD (the Polish Bologna
Process third cycle qualification). The system of education in
Poland allows for 22 years of continuous, uninterrupted
schooling.
• The grading is done every semester (twice a year), not just once in a
school year. Depending on the subject, the final grade may be
based on the result of a single exam, or on the student's
performance during the whole semester. In the latter case, usually a
point system, not the 2–5 scale is used. The points accumulated
during the semester are added and converted to a final grade
according to some scale.
• As a failing grade means merely having to repeat the failed subject,
and can usually be corrected on a retake exam (and in some cases
also on a special "committee exam"), it is used much more liberally,
and it is quite common for a significant number of students to fail a
class on the first attempt.
GRADING SCALE

(semester)
assessment
of
the
classification of classes ranging from Class IV
elementary school, established in stages
according to the following scale:
