Start of the new school year marked in Hartowiec by parents' protest

More than 6.6 million students returned to school yesterday after the summer holiday. However, not everywhere was the start of the new school year a cause of celebration. A middle school in Hartowiec near Lubawa was occupied by parents protesting against its planned closure. The decision was announced a year ago, but the parents decided to fight it, forming a committee to keep the school open, and finding teachers and school equipment. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) M.T.
