Summary/Abstract: Observing the events and crises that occur around the world in schools, there is a question: Doschools in Poland, apart from the organizational, program and legal changes, consider creatingand strengthening the safety of children and young people? Especially with the exposure of newthreats that may appear, defined as terrorism. After the analysis, it can be concluded that Polishschools do not teach children how to behave in the event of a terrorist threat. Preparation dependson many factors, including mainly anti-terror awareness, which depends primarily on properlyorganized and conducted educational and legislative activity of the state. In the presented article,the authors distinguished and characterized (author's approach) a picture of contemporary schoolreality in the discussed area, especially legal - development - educational contexts in whichchanges should occur. In the legal area, the analysis included regulated provisions of the Act of10 June 2016 on anti-terrorist activities (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 796), the Act of 1 March2018 on counteracting money laundering and financing of terrorism (Journal of Laws of 2019,item 1115) and the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management (Journal of Laws of 2019, item139) whether they may be applicable in the discussed issues. Bearing in mind that the safety ofcitizens, and thus of children and young people, is a timeless problem, it should be postulatedthat educational institutions in Poland should as soon as possible introduce new curricula foranti-terrorism prophylaxis into their curricula.
