Summary/Abstract: The article examines how Polish schools include Ukrainian refugee children and youth to regular education.It combines various sources of quantitative and qualitative data with the authors’ original field research toplace the issue of education in the broader context of migration and the labour market. It reconstructs thediverse family contexts of Ukrainian children to demonstrate the need for diversified approaches to migrantstudents in education. Major results of the study point to unsatisfactory efforts by schools to strengthenrelationships between Polish and migrant students. On the other hand, according to Ukrainian mothers andother sources, teacher-student relationships are usually very supportive to migrant students. However, poorrelationships between students themselves hinder the learning process. Closer relations between Polish andmigrant students can improve education and are important for further integration of migrants into society.
