The unified system of '''education in the Second Polish Republic''' was attempted in 1920,<ref name=jaja/> later superseded by the [[Jędrzejewicz reform]], named after [[Janusz Jędrzejewicz]],<ref name=zos>Z. Osiński, ''Janusz Jędrzejewicz. Piłsudczyk i reformator edukacji (1885-1951)'', Lublin 2007.</ref> approved by the [[Sejm]] in 1932. The resulting system was in force essentially until 1948, when it was superseded by the [[Communist state|Communist]] system of [[education in the Polish People's Republic]]. The Jędrzejewicz reform received controversial recognition. On one hand, it introduced [[compulsory education]] and unified credentials of various schools at their relative educational levels. On the other hand, it introduced a considerable degree of interference of the state into issues of [[academic freedom]].<ref name=jaja/>
==Background==
At the moment of the [[Polish Independence Day|regaining of the independence]] by Poland in 1918 and the establishment of the [[Second Polish Republic]], its system of education was in disarray, mainly due to more than a century of [[partitions of Poland]] by [[Austria-Hungary]], the [[Prussia|German]], and the [[Russian Empire]]s.<ref name=jaja>Jarosław Jastrzębski, "Reforma Jędrzejewicza w państwowym szkolnictwie akademickim II Rzeczypospolitej.
