A milestone shaped with Polish communities worldwide
Speaking to Polish Radio External Service, Dr Urszula Starakiewicz-Krawczyk, the Institute’s director, called the document “the first milestone toward systematically supporting the development of the Polish language abroad.”
For the first time, the guidelines draw on an extensive assessment of who learns Polish abroad, how diaspora schools operate, and the challenges their teachers face.
This is especially significant for educators who work voluntarily and often outside formal education systems. The framework also reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity in which these schools function.
“This is the first document of such breadth, designed to offer real support to teachers and students,” Dr Starakiewicz-Krawczyk said.
“We treat the framework non-dogmatically. It is meant as guidance, not an instruction manual,” she added.
Broad consultation reshaped the project
A major component of the project was a wide-ranging public consultation process.
Anyone interested was invited to contribute, including Polish communities around the world, education bodies and government institutions.
“At least now we are discussing something concrete. People can agree or disagree, but they have a shared point of reference,” the director said.
