Starting in 2026, Poland's Ministry of Education will implement new rules for funding home schooling, which have raised significant concerns among parents. The changes proposed by Minister Barbara Nowacka have been criticized for limiting the funding available to students engaged in home education, as highlighted by educational experts who support the parents' grievances. This alteration is seen as detrimental not only theoretically but also in practical financial implications for families.

As reported by the Strefa Edukacji portal, the Foundation Twoje VETO has received numerous emails from concerned legal guardians expressing their fears that the new financing rules for home education will adversely affect their family finances and access to institutions that support homeschooling. These worried parents assert that the changes threaten to compromise educational opportunities and the overall enrichment of their children.

The new legislation is particularly contentious as it revises the thresholds for the number of students per educational institution that qualifies for full funding. Previously, this approach allowed for more comprehensive support for families choosing home education. Parents are now mobilizing and hoping for a response from the president to rethink this regulation, indicating a significant public sentiment against the proposed changes and the potential impacts on home education in Poland.
