Successful Education Reform : Lessons from Poland
Poland's education reforms have
produced a large overall improvement in educational
performance, as measured by results on the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Program for
International Student Assessment (PISA). Before 1999,
primary school in Poland was 8 years, followed by tracking
into vocational or academic programs. Now, the primary cycle
has been changed to six years, followed by three years of
comprehensive lower secondary school or gymnasium for all
students, before a vocational tracking decision is made.
Increased hours of instruction and delayed tracking of
students into the vocational education stream were the most
important factors in the improvement of test scores. In
2000, only one percent of polish students received more than
four hours of language class, while in 2006, 76 percent of
students received more than four hours of language class.
