WARSAW (Sputnik) – The organizers claim that about 50,000 people took to streets to protest against the reform that would eliminate gymnasiums and vocational schools and divide the educational system into elementary schools, lyceums and technical colleges.
The protesters are carrying flags of the Polish Teachers' Union that organized the demonstration and banners urging to scrap the reform. Schoolchildren's parents and representatives of the opposition parties have joined the union members for the protest. The demonstrators earlier planned to send a delegation to Polish President Andrzej Duda with a petition calling for the repeal of the reform.
