The idea of including children and young people from Ukraine in Poland in compulsory schooling is very good, our interviewees say. Because even when the war ends, many Ukrainians can stay here – to treat us, bake bread for us, work for Polish GDP. Unfortunately, the implementation of this idea is worse – many schools do not yet know how many new students to prepare for. – The system will cope, but individual schools not necessarily – predicts Szymon Lepper, a history and social studies teacher from the 5th Secondary School in Gdynia.
