The National Head Teachers’ Forum for a good start of EDUKACJA

This year’s Forum is devoted to the issues of “Education – from creative potentials to the results of innovativeness”. The Forum programme encompasses the questions of the Finish success in education, the education system image, change management and legal education and many others. This is Poland’s biggest meeting targeted at masters and deputy masters of schools and educational institutions as well as teachers-leaders of task and subject groups, teachers-advisors to school students’ boards and associations, school inspectors, representatives on non governmental organisations, instructors and tutor-teachers at culture centres and institutions, methodology advisors and teacher-consultants as well as psychologists and pedagogues.

The Forum is attended by representatives of almost all EU member states. The role of the Committee of the Regions is to put forward local and regional points of view on EU legislation. The Committee does so by issuing reports (‘opinions’) on European Commission proposals. The European Commission, the Council and the Parliament are obliged to consult the Committee of the Regions before EU decisions are taken on matters concerning local and regional government, including the decisions regarding for example employment policy, the environment, education or public health. The Committee is currently composed of 344 members and the same number of alternate members. As Adam Jarubas, the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship Marshal said, this visit can be seen as the promotion of the Swietokrzyskie region capital city as well of the whole region; it also creates the chance to present Kielce as an education centre which develops dynamically and to make the guests acquainted with the self governments’ initiative towards providing school with modern school teaching aids and resources.

The Forum is organised by Swietokrzyskie Centre for the Teacher-in-Service Training, the National Association of Education Managerial Staff and Targi Kielce.
