Summary/Abstract: The article highlights the importance of children’s primary school experience in their transition to secondary school. Research regarding aspects of their experience is presented, mainly relevant to organization of the teaching process. Secondary education poses new challenges for children. These are described using empirical data collected in a survey of the opinions of teachers and children. An image emerges of school as an environment not conducive to adaptation to the demands of individual subject learning from the perspective of personal development.
