"New fashion among Polish youth concerns not only teachers, but besides doctors. A drug has appeared in schools, the operation of which resembles cigarettes, but the way of usage is more discreet and sneaky," warns GazetaPrawna.pl. It's called "snows," which is small bags containing nicotine, which are inserted between the gum and the lip. The Ministry of Education wants to fight them with "health education" – only in the left-wing edition.
Doctors inform that teen usage of sleep can lead to serious wellness problems. "Nicotin penetrates the body through the gums, which may origin tingling, and in the longer word leads to oral and periodontal diseases as well as affect the improvement of the tense system," we read.
The problem seems serious, and that is why teachers in many schools, including in Krakow, started an action to alert parents before the fresh drug market. Schools send warnings to parents, educate students about the harmfulness of swass, or cooperate with local governments and services to increase awareness of threats.
Interestingly, according to the findings of GazetaPrawna.pl, the Ministry of Education announced the introduction of a fresh subject in Polish schools – wellness education. "It is scheduled to appear in the curriculum from next school year, covering 4–8 students and advanced schools. The aim is to make young people aware of their intellectual and physical health, as well as of the dangers of drugs," we read.
Health education, however, is not only informing students about drugs, but besides – and possibly above all – sex education according to WHO guidelines, as many organizations, including the Ordo Iuris Institute and the Pro Right to Life Foundation, have warned about.
However, the analysis of the current basis for general education shows that issues in the field of wellness education are present in the Polish education strategy already today, starting with pre-school education. They are discussed more extensively at further stages of education, both in primary school in grades I-III and IV-VIII, as well as in secondary schools. These issues are addressed on subjects specified as biology, nature, chemistry, physical education, safety education and household education.
The subject of sexuality is besides discussed in the HED classes. Among the main functions of sexuality are, among others, the expression of love, the building of bonds and parenthood, common assistance and complementation, integral and complementary sex cooperation.
The accents are completely different in the model of sexual education, towards which the present MEN authorities are inclined. This model refers to publications on this subject, including the planet wellness Organization. The main function of sexuality, unlike in WEDZ classes, is brought there to supply pleasure, with sexual initiation, according to supporters of this model, no request to wait to scope adulthood or to enter into a lasting relationship.
The second leading context of this model of education is "security" as regards protection against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. A remediation of these “risks” is to be a widespread access to contraceptives, a pill “day after” and a “safe abortion”.
Another component of sexual education, which can be expected in wellness education classes, is anti-discrimination education. It is simply a de facto promotion of the extremist demands of the LGBT lobby, including those concerning alleged homosexual marriages and the adoption of children by single-sex couples.
Importantly, with the entry into the schools of compulsory wellness education classes, voluntary training classes for household life are to disappear.
– Until now, the parent may have objected to the participation of his kid in the EGM classes. Now power, through a state apparatus, wants to take distant the right of parents to rise their children according to their own beliefs, in a sphere as delicate as sexuality. This is no uncertainty an effort on the constitutionally guaranteed rule of parenting priority Marek Puzio, elder analyst of the Ordo Iuris Institute, points out.
According to MEN's announcements, the task of the programming basis of the fresh subject – wellness education, is scheduled to appear in the autumn of this year, and the subject would enter schools from 1 September 2025.
