The Problem of Economization of Education in the View of the Polish Conservative Journalism

The article attempts to present the position of Polish conservatives towards the process of economization of education. The public speeches published in press and on the web portals were primarily analyzed. According to the Conservatives after 1989 there has been expansion of ideology (neo) liberal in Poland. The essence of the direction of changes was to subordinate the public life to economic problems. These trends included the sphere of education. The main aim of the reforms was to use education as a simple tool to realize economic interests. The material efficiency became the priority of polish school – the basic criterion for assessing the quality of education was the profit they generate. Education was given the maximum practical size, tailored to the needs of the labor market. These processes were critically diagnosed by conservatives. According to them the effect of economzation of education was to produce graduates with no broad horizons and rooted in a culture focused on production and consumption, and thus susceptible to propaganda and manipulation.
