Illiberális oktatáspolitika Lengyelországban 2015 és 2023 között
Illiberal educational policy in Poland: 2015–2023

Summary/Abstract: The study provides an analysis of the educational policies of the governments of the PiS led conservative coalition between 2015 and 2023. The analysis focuses on the public policy mechanisms which allow the Polish conservative illiberal party to convert its ideological goals into concrete educational policy interventions. To this end, based on the results of two comparative research projects of CEU Democracy Institute the study outlines the educational policy narratives of the Polish conservative illiberal party in a wider European comparison. It is followed by an analysis of the composition of the educational policy agenda of PiS throughout the period. The study addresses the problems in relation to the governance context of the illiberal educational policy in Poland and to the ideological framing of educational policy, as well as to the actual impact of educational policy interventions on the performance of the Polish education system. The conclusion of the study is that despite the many similarities between the ideological alignment and the following educational policy narratives of PiS and Fidesz, due to the more limited political and constitutional latitude PiS was much less successful in transforming ideological goals to educational policy measures.
