Since the Reform of 1999 compulsory education in Poland starts at the age of five or six
for the 0 class of kindergarten. Children start the 1st grade of primary school
at the age of 6 or 7. Compulsory education lasts 9 years: After 6 years of
primary education, pupils pass their exam of primary education and join the
gymnasium for 3 years (lower secondary education). Then they take another
compulsory exam.
There are several alternatives from then on, the most common is studying
for three years in a liceum or four years in a technical secondary school. Both end with a maturity examination
and may be followed by several forms of upper education, leading to Bachelor
(the Polish Bologna Process first cycle
qualification), Master (the Polish Bologna Process second cycle
qualification) and eventually PhD (the Polish Bologna Process third cycle
qualification). The system of education in Poland allows for 22 years of
continuous, uninterrupted schooling.
Miejski Zespół Szkół w Świeradowie –Zdroju is the complex of 3 units: kidergarten, primary school and gimnazjum.
Primary school is divided into 2 cycles of 3 years. The first cycle is
"integrated", with one teacher handling alone all the subjects
except for foreign languages and ethics/ religion.
