Parents and pupils to get greater power over schools

This idea is also supported by Education Minister Katarzyna Hall. The introduction of the vouchers will be a revolution in the sector and will give parents financial power over teachers and schools, which currently receive money according to the number of classes and the number of employed teachers. If the new regulations are introduced it will be the money following the pupils. The schools that manage to attract a greater number of children will have more money for the classes. Therefore, it will be the parents not local government officials who will decide which schools will prosper and which will go bankrupt. This flagship project of PO, was initially rejected by PSL, however after agreeing to protect schools in rural areas, they are allowing the concept to move forward. (Dziennik, p. 1) A.K.
