>I would say the same, it's quite a shock read such a statement.

You might find it interesting to read and comment on the actual article then. It dates the beginning of the recent reform of Poland's education system to 1997, just one year before you graduated, so it may be that a lot has changed since your time.

Thanks for pointing that out, so I can specify more on the topic. It's exactly why I'm astounded as everything back in 1998 looked like going into worse and ever since, I only hear how the level of education goes lower and lower (exact science especially; math and physics). I cannot give you specific sources as I find it from time to time while listening to podcasts about popular-science and technology where highly skilled and respected professors complain sometimes about current education level and the lack of plan for the future.
