Organization of education in communist Poland after 1944

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the first days and first months of the operation of the communist operational group sent by Stalin to Poland to take over education. The task they were given was extremely difficult, because the majority of Polish teachers - despite assurances that nothing would change in the school curricula - were distrustful of the new authorities. The communist government imposed by the Soviet Union did not have its own pro-gram. That is why it initially used pre-war regulations. However, such action also served to disguise, in the first period, the real intentions of the communists. However, the remnants of the pre-war order were quickly removed and the new school order brought from Russia was introduced. This meant subjecting Polish edu-cation to communist solutions.
