”We did not stop at the very existence of the Polish teacher education program, and we extended it to a structure that will be called the Vilnius Polonistic Educational Center. This center will have multiple functions : educating Polish teachers, creating opportunities for specialization in the second subject, creating opportunity of additional specialization for already working teachers. The third aspect, important for teachers of Polish schools: the Center will be involved in raising the qualifications of educators, depending on the needs, in cooperation with the institutions of the Polish State “, said Jarosław Narkiewicz in an interview with Radio Znad Wilii.
