As geographers, we strongly oppose the Ministry’s plans and demand that they be dropped. The idea of such changes may result in the impoverishment of educational content and the disappearance of subject specificity. As a member of all organisations of the geography community and on behalf of our community of geographers at the University of Lodz, I have signed all the letters of protest
– says Prof. Marcin Wójcik, Dean of the Faculty of Geographical Sciences at the University of Lodz. .
Standpoints containing protest and demands to abandon the plans for changes that are harmful to students, and consequently to society as a whole, were sent to the Ministry by the following academic and professional organisations of geographers:
- Konferencja Kierowników Jednostek Geograficznych
- Polish Geographical Society
- Committee for Geographical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences
