Education row

The head of the Sejm Education Commission, Andrzej Smirnow (Civic Platform) was forced to order a recess during a meeting at which Education Ministry representatives were to present the state of preparations for schools to accept six-year-old children.

The recess was necessary because protesting parents, invited by PiS, disrupted the meeting. The parents claimed that schools are not prepared to teach six-year-olds and that this decision should be postponed.
