Krakow's various schools and other educational institutions.  

Until 2017 Poland had a five-stage education system which consisted of preschools, elementary schools, lower secondary schools, upper secondary schools, and higher education. The current Polish government has abolished the lower secondary schools introducing 8-year elementary schools and 4-year high schools supplemented with vocational schools.  

In Poland compulsory education begins at the age of seven and continues till the age of eighteen.

 

Schools in Krakow

Up to 2017 there were 145 elementary schools (szkola podstawowa) in the city with some 39,000 pupils, 99 lower secondary schools (gimnazjum) teaching roughly 24,000 pupils or so, and 161 upper secondary schools with aggregate enrollment of over 40,000 students.

In 2017 Krakow adopted the new municipal network of 111 elementary schools (szkola podstawowa) and 31 high schools (liceum) plus 38 vocational secondary schools (technikum) and basic vocational schools (szkola zawodowa). Apart from the municipality-funded schools there are a number of elementary schools and high schools run by various organizations and financed through tuition.  

Krakow’s 113 post-secondary vocational colleges, szkola policealna, number some 13,000 students.

Also Krakow’s 10 Catholic church seminaries provide the post-secondary education.

Adults may get further education in 91 schools, szkola dla doroslych, including 16 high schools for adults, 21 supplementary high schools, and 30 supplementary technical colleges.

Most preschools as well as schools from the elementary to the post-secondary ones are run by the Krakow municipality and financed largely by the central government’s subsidies.
