– I am convinced that in the next five years, the best Polish universities, at least the University of Warsaw, will enter the second hundred of world universities – said Jarosław Gowin, Deputy Prime Minister Minister of Science and Higher Education, in an interview with Polish Radio Gdańsk.

The Minister also commented the quality of preparing secondary school graduates for studies. Hearing the opinion that the school prepares its pupils rather for solving tests than for studies, Deputy Prime Minister Gowin replied that it is justified to complain about the schools that educate insufficiently well the exceptionally talented generation of Poles for further studies.

The government decided to return a system of four-year secondary schools. – Three years of secondary school is too short to prepare for studies. The Polish school should focus on learning creative thinking, because the labor market in the 21st century is changing rapidly, and the capital that can be provided by the school is the ability to think independently – added Gowin.
