Changes proposed by the ruling conservative Law and Justice party include extending primary education from six to eight years and extending the time spent in high schools and vocational schools to four and five years respectively.
The reforms will do away with the junior high schools, reintroducing a two-stage school system which was scrapped in 1999. The reforms are to get underway in the autumn of 2017 and are to be completed by 2022.
Zalewska presented the plans in the central city of Toruń on Monday. (aba/pk)
