Special Education in Poland



Author(s): Michalina Wojtasz

Abstract:

The article discusses the main concepts of special pedagogy, its aims and methods. Special pedagogy is a branch of pedagogy dealing with a person who requires support and assistance in overcoming various difficulties impeding his/her development and social functioning. The main task of special pedagogy is to create the theoretical and methodological basis for the processes of revalidation and re-socialisation. In terms of content, the right to education means that everyone has the right to receive education that is free of charge and that meets the required standards. The content of education is to be determined by the state, which is responsible for ensuring that it is accessible to everyone. The aim of this study is to identify problems in early childhood education and care in Poland compared to other EU. The study is based on an analysis of the latest statistical data from Eurostat and the OECD. The assessment process for special education can be difficult for parents to navigate. The statement on the need for special education determines the most beneficial form of education for the child and the forms of special assistance that will be provided. This does not mean that the child will be sent to a special school, but only that the program and form of education at the chosen school can be adapted to the child's needs and abilities. The lack of access to education, learning and vocational training for children who are not fully able-bodied has far-reaching consequences, both for the individual and for society as a whole. This paper discusses the importance of providing early contact with peers for children with disabilities in order to increase their chances of being properly socialized. It also highlights the social costs of segregated education and the importance of psychological and pedagogical support for pupils with special educational needs.
