Context
Recently, reports began to appear in the media that it has become more difficult for foreigners to enter Polish universities. To enter Polish universities, foreigners now need to have a certificate of Polish language proficiency at level B2 based on the results of a state exam. The relevant order was issued by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland.
For foreign applicants, this can become a serious obstacle, especially this year - many do not have time to pass the exam.
Applicants created an initiative group and drew up a petition asking to postpone the introduction of the resolution.
