Przemiany demograficzne a dostosowanie polskiego systemu edukacji

Demographic transformations caused by economic and social changes results in negative changes in the demographic structure of the Polish society. The number of children has been decreasing. According to the demographic forecasts, this tendency is going to continue. The current situation requires adjustment of the education system to the changing number of the pupils' (students') population. Initially these changes concern kindergartens and primary schools. In the future, they are also going to be observed in schools at higher than the lowest one levels of education. As the consequence of demographic transformations, the population at the working age is also going to face some serious problems. Therefore, the education system reaction to all these changes should be not only limited organizational changes in the kindergartens and schools, but it should also include adjustments of school programmes.
