Control of backpacks and clothing in schools. Directors will receive new powers

The Polish government is proposing amendments to the Education Law to enhance safety in schools following recent violent incidents. The changes include allowing school directors to check students' bags and clothing for safety reasons, as well as providing legal and psychological support for teachers. The amendments aim to strengthen the protection of teachers and ensure stricter verification of individuals running private schools. The proposed regulations also address the need for schools to establish clear rules regarding access to their premises, enhancing overall security measures.
