Abstract

Following the reform of the educational system in Poland in 2017, the current system of education is being radically changed. These changes include elimination of three-year lower secondary school,1 22extension of primary school education from six to eight years as well as extension of upper secondary education from three to four years. The subject of the paper is the analysis and evaluation of the core curriculum for teaching Geography at “new” primary school in the aspect of teaching regional Geography. The important task of the subject matter seems to be an assessment of not only the assumptions of the reform of the educational system but rather the possibility of another presentation of geographic content, especially at primary school. As far as the proposed new solutions are concerned, development of the general aims of geographic education, in particular geographic knowledge, and the skills and application of knowledge in practice, important objectives have been identified in the field of shaping attitudes which seem to foster the process of teaching Geography in its regional terms.

Keywords: Geography core curriculum, regional Geography, reform of Polish educational system
