No/Yes.

Qualitative Info

Teacher regular curricula/trainings do not deal with specific reference to immigrants and respect/promotion of diversity. The lack of preparation of Polish schools, including teachers, to work with foreign children was highlighted in the MIPEX study and a recent ECRI report about Poland.
School education about the history, culture and traditions of national minorities and their contribution to the Polish society is performed in the form of facultative courses, conducted within the framework of regional education. In the opinion of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities the present one does not guarantee that students generally receive sufficient information in this area.
