The reform of the core curriculum and framework curricula will introduce new rules for arranging timetables, a greater emphasis on practical classes, and educational projects. However, these changes will not affect all students simultaneously and will be implemented gradually.<\/p>\n<p>The new solutions will take effect in the 2026\/2027 school year and will primarily concern specific students. This means children starting their education in these grades will study according to the new core curricula, while other students will continue under the existing rules. The reform will be introduced in stages so schools can adapt their work organization and teachers can prepare for the new requirements.<\/p>\n<h4>More Practical Classes and Replaced Technical Subjects<\/h4>\n<p>One of the core assumptions of the changes is a greater connection between learning and the practical application of knowledge. The school is expected to develop competencies needed in daily life to a greater extent, such as cooperation, problem-solving, and independent action.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, the way certain classes are conducted will change. The technical subject will be replaced by practical-technical classes, which are designed to prepare students to perform specific tasks and utilize knowledge in practice.<\/p>\n<h4>Introduction of the Project Week in Primary Schools<\/h4>\n<p>A new feature will be the introduction of the so-called project week, allowing students to carry out larger tasks that require combining knowledge from various subjects. These projects are intended to develop various skills as part of educational work conducted during school hours.<\/p>\n<h4>Changes in Teaching Hours and Early School Education<\/h4>\n<p>The new framework curricula provide for changes in the distribution of hours. In grades I\u2013III of primary school, the scope of early school education will increase from 20 to 21 hours per week. The number of hours at the school principal&#8217;s disposal will also change, enabling schools to better tailor their educational offerings to student needs.<\/p>\n<p>Principals will be able to allocate these hours to additional classes developing student interests, remedial classes, or activities resulting from the specific nature of the school.<\/p>\n<h4>Nature Education in a New Formula<\/h4>\n<p>The teaching of nature will also change, shifting away from purely encyclopedic knowledge transmission toward observation, experiments, and connecting information from various fields. Students are expected to perform experiments more frequently and analyze phenomena occurring in the surrounding world.<\/p>\n<h4>Focus on Safety, Responsibility, and Teacher Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>The new solutions place greater emphasis on student safety issues. During homeroom hours, schools will cover topics regarding safety to prepare students not only for exams but also for situations requiring practical skills.<\/p>\n<p>For teachers, these changes mean adapting how they conduct classes with a greater emphasis on new methods. Educators will have to prepare new curricula and teaching materials consistent with the amended core curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these extensive announcements, parents do not need to fear a revolution in timetables, as the reform will be implemented gradually and children already following the current curriculum will continue until they finish their educational stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting September 1, 2026, primary school students in Poland will face sweeping organizational changes, introducing practical classes, project weeks, and a phased curriculum overhaul.
