“I’m not a minister to be liked. I am a minister who is supposed to work,” said Prof. Przemyslaw Czarnek. The education minister pointed out that the “villa plus” program called by the opposition is a “well-developed and well-executed” program and that the question of subsidies “caused a storm by Mr Lubnauer and Mr Szumilas, in a absolutely untrue way.” He added that he had no intention of resigning.
The storm around subsidies
The Minister of Education and Science assured Radio ZET that he had no intention of resigning, and the program “villa plus” – as the opposition described the grant – “is an absolutely excellent program, well developed, brilliantly executed” .
As a result, we bought, for example, a piano for PLN 650,000. zlotys to the MDK in Nałęczów, where international piano competitions and piano courses are held annually, a coach for PLN 750,000. zlotys for Ostrów Lubelski municipality, where children will be transported, because there was nothing to drive them with. All of Poland was given educational infrastructure, local government officials, if only they wanted to reach them. They got you from PSL, from PO – 5 billion 200 million zlotys!
explained the minister.
Przemysław Czarnek added that “this is a storm created by Mrs. Lubnauer and Szumilas in an absolutely unfair and unfair way towards these associations and foundations.” The minister also announced lawsuits.
My lawyers are working on legal documents in several cases that could lead to something like this
– said the head of the Ministry of State and National Education.
Referring to the IBRiS survey for Rzeczpospolita, in which 55 percent of respondents believe that the ‘villa plus’ scandal should end with the resignation of the minister of education and science, Prof. Czarnek replied that he had support at the level of Law and Justice.
With the mud thrown at me, this support is a great satisfaction to me. I am not a minister to be liked, I am a minister to work
noted the minister.
“Lex Czarnek” are left-wing solutions?
The head of the Ministry of State and National Education also referred to the remark of the president’s adviser Marcin Mastalerek, who stated that the “lex Czarnek” is “left-wing solutions”. According to the Minister of Education, this is “completely absurd”.
I don’t have the honor of knowing him, I never spoke to him. I don’t know much about his political activities. For some reason I know he didn’t appear on the PiS list in 2015. If what Mr. Mastalerek says is true, it means that there would be no problem with the indoctrination of children and young people in the West. Meanwhile, the indoctrination, sexualization and ideologizing of children in the Western world is monstrous. The best example is the expulsion of a student from a Catholic high school in Canada just because he said we are husband and wife
said the Minister of Education.
Draft law on teachers’ pensions
I am confident that the bill on teacher pensions will be developed in the first half of the year, Minister of Education and Science Przemysław Czarnek assured Radio Zet on Thursday. He said that the ministry is in consultation with the teachers’ unions about reinstating the teachers’ pension after 20 years of work at the blackboard and 30 years of work in general.
According to Czarnek, restoration of this right is necessary because of the demographic shrinkage that will be felt in schools in the coming years. He added that there will be up to 500,000 students in the Polish education system. children less.
This will affect the employment of teachers, so reinstatement of the teacher’s pension will surely cure the situation and there will be no threat
he assured.

The use of mobile phones in schools
The conversation also covered the use of mobile phones in schools. The minister said he was against the use of mobile phones in lessons and during breaks, particularly in primary schools. He added that a clear decision on this issue could be made before the election.
According to him, children could leave devices in lockers on the school grounds.
The majority of peers in the Children’s and Youth Council said there should be a border and that a project and program for such a border should now be developed. Today it is possible because every school can ban the use of mobile phones and private devices in schools
said the minister.
On a national scale, it is worth introducing regulations that regulate this issue in an unequivocal way, because modernity today is, on the one hand, a great opportunity for development, and on the other hand it poses a certain threat
– added.
When asked about his personal opinion on the use of electronic devices in schools, Czarnek said: “I am absolutely against the use of mobile phones during lessons and breaks, especially in primary schools.”
When asked if he envisioned a “clear position or a clear decision” before the election, he said yes.
If it’s clear and reasonable, why should we lose someone? We will only gain by it
– he replied, referring to whether he is not afraid of losing young voters before the upcoming elections.
I repeat, we are doing this at the request of the children and young people themselves. (…) These are mainly recommendations from children and young people from all over Poland. (…) I am glad that steps are being taken to limit the possibility of using this private equipment during lessons and breaks
– he said.
Money for raises
The head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Przemysław Czarnek, was asked, among other things: about when there will be increases for university employees who are not academic teachers.
Please go to your principals immediately and ask them for pay raises if they haven’t already
said the minister.
When asked if the rector would like to give a raise after such a request, Czarnek replied: “And who does the rector choose? With all due respect, no minister. The academic community elects the rector. If the rector does not give his employees a raise, go to the rector,” he added.
Candidates for the position of rector of a public higher education institution are nominated by the university council, after advice from the senate, and – if the statute so provides – by other competent authorities mentioned in the statute of the higher education institution.
Universities in Poland have a lot of money, also for investments. Because of this, they transfer this money to also raise salaries for administrative staff, many of whom are at universities. There is money for that in the universities. Please go to the rectors to give them to you, if they didn’t give it to you, because in many universities they also gave raises to these administrative workers
he assured.
