Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the opinion is to answer the question of whether setting the expenditures on educational part of general subvention for self‑government units for 2014 below its level for 2013 was in conformity with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The author, having examined the existing legislation and case law of the Constitutional Tribunal, and based on economic analysis of expenditures in this respect in previous years, gives a positive answer. According to her, if the delegation of tasks to self‑government units was accompanied by the transfer of funds from the State budget, therefore the planned changes consisting in the transfer by self‑government units (by way of agreement) of two artistic schools to the domain of the Minister of Culture and Heritage means that funds for those schools cannot any more be contained in the subvention allocated to self‑government unis.
