Still benefitting from a free education...
The controversy is still boiling over the commercialization, as the government puts it, or privatization, as the opposition sees it, of the health sector. Now major opposition Law and Justice party together with the teachers' unions claim that the Polish government, headed by Donald Tusk intends to privatize schools.
Report by Joanna Najfeld.
The Education Ministry says they do not mean to privatize schools, but only to make it easier for associations, companies and private persons to take over state schools from local governments in the case of schools in danger of closing down.
Opposition and teachers' unions protest, teachers have ambivalent feelings. The President is expected to veto the project.
