Summary/Abstract: The article characterizes the changes with regard to age in compulsory education; particularly focusing on the raising of minimum age; prompted by the Act of 29 December; 2015; which introduced amendments to the Education Act. Moreover; the article presents selected strategies of local municipal governments aimed at encouraging early enrollment in elementary schools among the parents of six-year-olds. Such measures undertaken by the municipalities were motivated by the negative consequences of the organizational and financial nature brought about by the raising of minimum age in compulsory education and compulsory kindergarten education.
