The head of the PNA emphasizes that teachers want children to study stationary. The only question is whether the situation with the coronavirus epidemic will allow it
When asked about the communication of the Ministry of National Education with the PNA, he replies that “it was not and is not there”. The minister of education was hiding behind a special act which allows him to issue regulations without consulting trade unions. – says Sławomir Broniarz.

He also recalled that a week ago a meeting of the team for social dialogue, convened at the initiative of the PNA, took place. It was the last call for us to discuss the organization of the new school year. I asked Minister Maciej Kopć a question about the level of preparation? The minister omitted the question, as did the question regarding the activities announced by the ministry in June, i.e. training 30,000 teachers and 600 directors – Sławomir Broniarz reported the meeting. It ended with announcements – he assessed.
We do not know what is the progress of work on the e-textbook. We also appealed to the ministry to slim down the core curriculum, remembering that it was not completed in the school year that has just ended – says the president of the PNA.
Sławomir Broniarz was also asked if remote teaching is more work for teachers. Definitely. The teachers were not sure that the students had the equipment. The teachers said they get up at 5.30 am because then the network in their block is at such a level that they can communicate – he stressed.
We made a survey of 5,700 people and it showed that 64 percent. of respondents signaled a drop in salaries – he stressed. He will also note that some local governments did not take into account overtime hours. Most of the teachers suffered losses – added.
Asked whether schools will be closed if infections are detected, the president of the PNA said that it is the school’s headmaster to make decisions about excluding the facility from the educational process in the event of a coronavirus outbreak. How can a person who does not have substantive competences to assess the state of health make such dramatic decisions? – asks the president of the Polish Teachers’ Union.
The ministry should prepare hard recommendations that will not give a chance to relativize. One case of Covid-19 should result in the school being closed – says Sławomir Broniarz.
