KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Military classes in Poland can be defined as classes of lower secondary and upper secondary
schools, which carry out broadly defined education for safety and participate with the
Ministry referred to by their name. Also, the programmes of these classes are enriched with
issues related to the defencee of the country, the history of the Polish army and the evolution
of patriotic attitudes among children and young people. Military classes in Poland are very
popular among both teachers and students.
The purpose of this article is to examine military classes in Poland, with particular focus on
experience in this field, as well as an indication of capabilities, and, thus, the developmental
prospects of these classes. The analysis was carried out starting with a presentation of the
origins of functioning military classes, after which the current possibilities of building
programmes of these classes were presented. In the next part of the work the author has
carried out a preliminary diagnosis of the functioning of military classes. Subsequently, the
proposal of a programme of military classes, which was developed at the National Defence
Academy in Warsaw in 2014, is revealed. The whole article ends with a summary and
conclusions.
