PCBaller World/Polish Social Nationalist Republic/Education

In the Polish Social Nationalist Republic, the Ministry of Education, under the leadership of Łukasz Łapiński, holds complete authority over the educational system nationwide. It establishes overarching objectives, regulations, and measures that apply to all educational institutions throughout the country. While the implementation and management of these directives largely fall under the purview of advisory boards within each kraj, the ministry retains the prerogative to intervene and address any necessary adjustments in school management by the krajs.

The contemporary Polish education system draws heavily from its historical predecessor, the ideological aims of the social nationalist government, and elements of the former United Kingdom educational framework. This amalgamation sets it apart as one of the few educational systems globally that enforces school uniforms, segregates certain classes by gender, and permits students to opt out of specific subjects as they progress through their academic stages.

In the Polish Social Nationalist Republic, both private schools and homeschooling are prohibited. However, individuals can have some degree of private ownership over schools if they place them under the authority of the Ministry of Education. An overseer ensures that these schools adhere to national regulations and operate in accordance with the ministry's guidelines.

The Polish education system is structured into five stages: pierwszy etap (first stage), drugi etap (second stage), trzeci etap (third stage), oddzielony etap (separate stage), and wyższy etap (higher stage). Mandatory education spans from ages 4 to 16, encompassing the first three stages. The oddzielony etap includes various "learning on the job" programs or apprenticeships with minimal regulation, while the wyższy etap comprises university-level education and transitional education, which mirrors the UK's "6th form" and precedes university.

All Polish schools must establish their own school uniform or adopt the nationwide uniform if they lack sufficient funds. Uniforms are mandatory for students in stages 1-3. During the first and second stages, students attend all classes and subjects. However, in the third stage, they have the option to drop non-core subjects such as Music, Art and Design, Physical Education, Foreign Languages, and Religious Education. Concurrently, the third stage offers a range of new selective subjects, some being gender or geographically exclusionary, enabling students to gradually specialize in their chosen paths.

At the conclusion of the third stage, students undertake the "Egzamin Gimnazjalny" (Secondary Education Examination), graded from A* to F. These grades are determined through a proportional system, where a certain percentage of test-takers receive each grade. For instance, a small percentage achieve A*, a slightly larger percentage receive A, and so forth, rather than employing a fixed point-based system. To facilitate international student exchanges and ensure compatibility with grading systems in other countries, the translation of these grades is overseen by the AltUN (Alternative United Nations).

In the higher stage's transitional phase, lasting two years, students focus solely on the subjects they select during the application process, with a minimum requirement of three subjects.

In Poland, the landscape of higher education boasts a rich diversity of over 500 institutions at the university level, offering a broad spectrum of disciplines including technical, medical, economic, agricultural, pedagogical, theological, musical, maritime, and military faculties. Notable among these institutions are the University of Warsaw, Warsaw Polytechnic, Kaliningrad State Technical University, Lwów University of Trade and Economics, and the University of Technology in Gdańsk. Within the Polish academic framework, three conventional degrees are recognized: licencjat or inżynier (first cycle qualification), magister (second cycle qualification), and doktor (third cycle qualification).

The Jagiellonian University founded in 1364 by Casimir III in Kraków was the first institution of higher learning established in Poland, and is one of the oldest universities still in continuous operation. Poland's Commission of National Education (Komisja Edukacji Narodowej), established in 1773, was the world's first state ministry of education.

The history and politics curricula underwent significant revisions post-2027, justified as "eliminating Western historical revisionism and promoting a shift away from a liberalized view of education and political ideologies."
