What subjects were taught in the Polish People’s Republic? Some are no longer in schools
One of the compulsory subjects in every school was Russian. It has now been replaced by English. Teaching technology is also completely different.

Children were introduced to the basics of electricity, they learned how to darn and sew, and even bake or make simple structures such as bird feeders.

School in the Polish People’s Republic. Mandatory uniforms and regular assemblies
The clothes of students in the Polish People’s Republic were very characteristic. All because of uniforms, which were a mandatory element of clothing. Currently, few people decide to introduce them. However, not only uniforms were obligatory at that time. There was usually a school assembly every Monday morning. After it started, a patriotic song was sung and only then did the official part of the roll begin. It was then that the principal provided students with various information and introduced new regulations. The names of students who distinguished themselves were often read out during assemblies. Those who achieved academic success were praised in front of the entire school, but those who did something wrong were also noticed. Today, regular assemblies are not an everyday occurrence, but are usually held on various and special occasions.
