President Nawrocki's accepted reforms will come into effect on March 5, affecting various areas, including education. A transitional period is set until the end of the 2025/2026 school year, during which interim regulations will be implemented. This period will see the gradual phase-out of special provisions established for Ukrainian children who have been granted various educational benefits since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The most significant change concerns the funding arrangements for Ukrainian students attending Polish schools. Currently, these students benefit from free transportation, additional Polish language classes, preparatory classes, and financial assistance. However, these provisions will terminate at the end of the current school year, transitioning schools to ordinary funding and operational organization. This shift will require school directors and local governments to adjust their educational strategies and financial planning accordingly.

As the transitional period concludes, Polish schools will revert to standard practices, which may lead to challenges in accommodating the Ukrainian students who have become accustomed to these special provisions. The move is expected to place additional strains on school administrations that have enjoyed greater flexibility under the special law, as they must navigate the complexities of integrating these students within a regular education system without the previously extended support.
