Poland’s political transformation in Poland in the 1980s and the close perspective of the country’s entry into the EU were the crucial reasons the Polish government was determined to change the education system and modernize the teacher training. In 1990 the Ministry of National Education established colleges as a new form of professional preparation for Polish teachers (especially in primary-school education, foreign language teaching, mathematics and Polish language teaching). The Teacher Training College (ZKN) in Szczytno is a prime example.
