The government has unanimously approved an amendment to the rules governing the funding and professional standards of teaching assistants. Education Minister Robert Plaga, nominated by ANO, said the changes are intended to address ineffective aspects of inclusive education, particularly the widespread allocation of teaching assistants to individual pupils.
The amendment incorporated proposed changes by the junior coalition partiess, Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) and the Motorists’ party, who are opposed to the concept of inclusive education.
The Motorists secured several changes, including a provision requiring educational and psychological counselling centres to operate according to catchment areas.
The amendment is expected to come into force in 2027.
