Abstract:

The article addresses areas for cooperation between higher and secondary education, beyond the bounds of administrative and organisational division. Also summarised is the general curriculum reform which is founded on changing the paradigm of education. Satisfying the needs of the most gifted pupils at secondary level in the public system is also described. Specific ideas are presented for how to organise cooperation between schools and universities for work with gifted students. The strengths and weaknesses of the present Polish assessment system are pointed out, together with its role in improving school education. The article draws attention to the difficulty posed by exams in terms of admission to higher education and highlights the need for co-operation between the systems of national examination and higher education.
