Thoughts of the Youth on Education. Students of The Maria Grzegorzewska University Towards Selected Party Postulates

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research conducted among the students of The Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw. The research was carried out using a copyright questionnaire. The study included 506 full-time students in the fields of education and special education. The aim of the study was to investigate the students’ opinions on some of the demands of the party in the programs of political forces taking part in the parliamentary elections in 2015. The author presents the percentage distribution of support for the proposals concerning, among others, method of financing education, privatization of education, enhance the function of care in schools or resignation of testing high school. The results show that in the majority of issues exists among students relative consensus as to the validity or groundlessness of the party demands. Students speak for the possible participation of the public sector in education. They are in favor of free education in kindergarten, medical and dental care of adolescents and children in the kindergarten and school, free textbooks, breakfasts and dinners. They strongly oppose the abolition of compulsory education. The study may indicate allegiance of students to democratic values as freedom (e.g. the right to decent and safe education), equality (equal protection of rights, equal opportunities) and justice (equal access to educational institutions).
