Abstract:

The installation of communist authorities in Poland after World War II was associated with the introduction of Soviet education models. The resistance of the teaching community to the educational policy pushed by the Polish Workers’ Party during the educational congresses in 1945 resulted in repression and harassment, the victims of which were teachers and school management staff and school administration. Starting with the rigged elections in 1947, the ideologization of education began and the fight to educate a new generation began without the participation of some teachers. According to available data, between 1946 and 1956 in the Kielce Voivodeship 49 people were dismissed from managerial positions. As a result of political events in 1956, Rehabilitation Commissions for education workers were established, which collected documentation regarding the causes of repression and the circumstances of dismissals of school principals and managers. They acted on behalf of the injured and awarded compensation in the form of acts of rehabilitation. However, oftentimes they did not form the basis for improving the situation of repressed people, whose careers and professional lives were disrupted. Instead, their activities resulted in half-hearted changes and the actual removal of inconvenient educators from teaching children.
