10 TEACHING SHOCKS TO EXPECT IN POLISH EDUCATION

Image
As international students we are pretty used to different systems of tutoring. In fact, the Nigerian in me was expecting a strict style of education in Poland as I thought the UK standard was what all countries in Europe adopted, my parents would even often say to me, "study hard ooo, their grading system is different abroad ooo", my heart will be doing gbim gbim.

In the topic of "study abroad", European countries are mostly overlooked. Many see Europe as a tourist destination, not a place you go get a degree or settle in. Although, I must say, that mindset is changing nowadays. Having lived in Europe for years now, I can categorically attest to the beauty and serenity of living here.  Among the most talked about countries in the Europe, Poland is rarely mentioned. I guess it's because people still think of it as a communist or third world European country. In-fact, I have seen people say they have never heard of Poland, some others think it's in Asia. Well, I can write without any doubt that Poland is now one of the most developed countries in Europe, the rate at which this place went from bottom of the barrel to being one of the most sought-after destinations for IT and other international companies should be acknowledged.  Without further much-ado, here are some reasons to consider studying in Poland this year.
