Krakow's
various schools and other educational institutions.
Until 2017 Poland had a five-stage education system which consisted of
preschools, elementary schools, lower secondary schools,
upper secondary schools, and higher education. The
current Polish government has abolished the lower
secondary schools introducing 8-year elementary schools and
4-year high schools supplemented with vocational schools.
In Poland compulsory education begins at the age of seven and
continues till the age of eighteen.
Up to 2017 there were 145 elementary schools (szkola podstawowa)
in the city with some 39,000 pupils, 99 lower secondary
schools (gimnazjum) teaching roughly 24,000
pupils or so, and 161 upper secondary schools with aggregate
enrollment of over 40,000 students.
In 2017 Krakow adopted the new
municipal
network of 111 elementary schools (szkola podstawowa) and 31
high schools (liceum) plus 38
vocational secondary schools (technikum) and basic
vocational schools (szkola zawodowa). Apart from the
municipality-funded
schools there are a number of elementary schools and high
schools run by various organizations and financed through
tuition.
Krakow’s 113 post-secondary vocational colleges, szkola
policealna, number some 13,000 students.
Also Krakow’s 10 Catholic church seminaries provide the
post-secondary education.
Adults may get further education in 91 schools, szkola dla
doroslych, including 16 high schools for adults, 21 supplementary high
schools, and 30 supplementary technical colleges.
Most preschools as well as schools from the elementary to
the post-secondary ones are run by the Krakow municipality
and financed largely by the central government’s subsidies.
