Globalisation, digitalisation and demographic change are combining to increase and transform the skills needed to thrive in Polish workplaces and society. People will need a stronger and more well-rounded set of skills, including cognitive, social and emotional, and job-specific skills, to flourish in life both in and out of work. Poland will also need to make better use of people’s skills in the labour market and in individual workplaces. Poland has achieved relatively strong skills performance in various areas. In terms of developing people’s skills, Poland’s youth perform relatively well in the school years1, and an increasing number complete tertiary education. In terms of using people’s skills, the unemployment rate in Poland is at record low levels, and labour market participation has grown for most groups. However, Poland faces several complex skills challenges. Skills imbalances are high, and some graduates enter the labour market without a strong and well-rounded set of skills. Many adults have low levels of skills, yet most adults and enterprises in Poland are not engaged in education and training. Polish enterprises are not utilising the full potential of workers’ skills to support productivity and innovation. In recent years, Poland has enacted wide-ranging skills policy reforms spanning all levels of education and training, as well as many areas of labour market policy. Their successful implementation will require strong stakeholder engagement and careful impact monitoring. Poland has also developed an Integrated Skills Strategy to set the country’s priorities for skills development and activation. To support this process, the OECD has conducted a Skills Strategy project with Poland. This has involved detailed analysis and widespread engagement with stakeholders, leading to several tailored recommendations outlined in this report. The OECD stands ready to support Poland as it seeks to implement effective skills policies and continue its transition to a knowledge-based economy and society. 1 This publication takes into account data from the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

Schools – Variables 70 CONCLUSIONS 73 ANNEXES 79 2 INTRODUCTION The education of children, adolescents and adults has been growing in importance with formal school instruction becoming longer and an increasing number of adults receiving continuous education. As education is becoming more widespread, a growing percentage of particular age groups can benefit from ever higher levels of the educational system. Yet more advanced levels of education are available only to those who perform better. In this context, increasingly measurable and objectively verifiable school achievements can either promote or be a hindrance to further educational, professional and personal careers. The Polish educational system has been undergoing reform since the mid-1990s. The highlights of the educational reform were the establishment of lower secondary schools (gimnazjum) and the introduction of an external system for the assessment of student progress. Since 1999, the educational system has consisted of compulsory uniform six-grade primary schools, compulsory uniform three-grade lower secondary schools (representing the first level of secondary education) and various types of upper secondary school (offering two to three years of instruction).

  • COVID-19: Guide to International Secondary Assessment in 2020
    UK ENIC Special Report COVID-19: Guide to International Secondary Assessment in 2020 March 2021 Foreword Since March 2020, UK ENIC has been tracking the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education globally. During the past year, the majority of learners across the world have been affected by school closures. This disruption inevitably had a significant impact on school examinations and assessment; in many cases, national examinations were postponed, adapted or cancelled. We have been providing a summary of changes to education delivery and announcements regarding national examinations on our blog: Charting the impact of COVID-19 on UK admissions and recruitment. As COVID-19 continues to have an impact on education, the article is still continuously reviewed and updated with the latest information, and remains an essential and up-to-date resource for those working in international education. This report brings together the information compiled for the blog throughout 2020 to provide an overview of upper secondary assessment for over 120 qualifications worldwide, and analysis of the different approaches adopted globally. The report also examines how changes to assessment affected student performance and grading. Understanding grades in context is key to evaluating student performance and informing admissions decisions. By publishing this special report, UK ENIC aims to support both the work of those involved in international student recruitment and admissions, and fair recognition of qualifications awarded in 2020.

In making their choices, boys can play to their academic strengths and develop their intellectual passions. In the Sixth Form, boys will find that they need to take more responsibility for organising themselves. Divisions are smaller, the atmosphere is more informal, and beaks will generally look for more initiative from boys in their approach to academic work. We will expect boys to read widely, both in relation to and beyond their subjects.
