The Implementation of the Constitutional Right to Education in Educational Practice. An Educator’s Perspective

The political, economic and social changes that took place in Poland after 1989 meant that one of the first areas of social life that was subject to thorough legal changes was the education system, changes which, as practice proves, are of a continuous nature. The aim of the article is an attempt to evaluate the implementation of the constitutional right to education (Art. 70) and related rights (Art. 53, paragraph 3 and Art. 73) in the context of the organization and functioning of the Polish education system. This is the view of a pedagogue who has been analyzing the legislative solutions of subsequent authorities of the Ministry of Education in the context of everyday educational practice for many years, with particular emphasis on the effects of the introduced formal and legal solutions.
