Summary/Abstract: The current situation related to the war in Ukraine has made the presence of children from armed conflict areas, mainly foreign language children, in Polish schools, becoming one of the main challenges facing education. Moreover, modern school becomes a place of students’ rivalry and aggression. Teachers have to find their own way to handle the problem, frequently becoming a part of the conflict themselves. The problems of educating foreign children and young people require quick changes, adjusting the Polish school system to the realities. Therefore, it should be a concern of teachers to ensure appropriate teaching conditions in order to increase the educational chances of both Polish and Ukrainian students, and the inclusion of non Polish speakers in the work of the whole class. The aim of the research car ried out in March and April 2022 using the diagnostic survey among primary school teachers was to collect their opinions on the impact of the armed conflict and the current situation in Ukraine resulting from it on the course of natural and biological education. The paper presents the results of the research.
