Barbara Nowacka, the Education Minister in the government led by Donald Tusk, announced the resignation of Barbara Nowak from her post as education inspector for Lesser Poland. Gabriela Olszowska was named acting curator of education for the region.
Olszowska Replaces Nowak
Nowacka traveled to Krakow to discuss the dismissal of Barbara Nowak, the education inspector for Lesser Poland. The government was set to appoint Gabriela Olszowska as the new acting curator.
u2014 A cleaner, brighter chapter for Mau0142opolska education,u201d she stated at a press conference held in the Mau0142opolska Voivodeship office.
The minister also indicated that the remaining fifteen education inspector dismissals would occur by year-end, stressing that peace must be restored to education in Mau0142opolska.
u2014 Teachers and principals must be reminded that their work for the school system generally yields positive outcomes,u201d she added.
The new voivode of Lesser Poland, Krzysztof Kleczar, described Barbara Nowak as a symbol of what many Poles rejected in the most recent parliamentary elections. He characterized her as emblematic of contempt, ideological dominance over practical judgment, and a marked lack of respect for others.
Olszowska said the education inspector should act as a guardian rather than an accuser.
u2014 I enjoy work and I believe I know many areas well. I will definitely seek help because it is guaranteed,u201d she added.
Olszowska emphasized unity, noting that children, educators, parents, student councils, teachers, and school directors can support one another to resolve problems.
u2014 We can all help each other and solve our challenges,u201d she said.

MP Dariusz Matecki referenced the new curator’s statements from a prior period, recalling that she argued against curators as an apparatus of blunt supervision that fired many pre-war teachers and principals.
Radosu0142aw Poszwiu0144ski recalled a prior article describing Olszowska’s actions as director of Junior High School No. 2 in Krakow, where she clashed with a student’s parent and posted the correspondence online. The mother and child’s personal information was not removed, and the parent was described in negative terms on social media. She was suspended, faced a teacher disciplinary committee, and received a reprimand with a warning. Olszowska also criticized Barbara Nowak on social platforms.
Critics argued that the local government’s actions were being overshadowed by a personal agenda. A commenter suggested that someone who graduated from high school might be part of the movement that reshapes the Polish school system. The debate intensified over the conduct and impact of education leaders in the region.
Images circulating on social media months later showed posts that reflected dissatisfaction with the rule of law and alignment with the coalition led by Donald Tusk. This was presented as an early phase of a broader set of changes in Mau0142opolska.
The material surrounding these events continues to unfold as observers analyze the evolving leadership in the regional education system.
Overall, the transition marks a pivot in Mau0142opolskau2019s approach to oversight and governance of education, with emphasis on safeguarding collaboration across stakeholders and restoring trust in the regional education apparatus.
