Summary/Abstract: The article raises the issue of education of foreign students in the Polish education system. I believe that, despite the assurances of equality of educational opportunities for foreign students in the Polish law, in practice, the chances of these students are much smaller than the Polish citizens, especially because of the language barrier and the lack of preparation of schools and teachers to educate migrants. To confirm this thesis, the results of the research conducted with teachers working in public primary schools in Bialystok, in which foreign children study have been presented. Finally, the solutions that should be implemented, according to the surveyed teachers, to equalize educational opportunities for foreign students have been shown.
