The publication looks at the Covid-19 pandemic from the point of view of teachers, students and their families. The author, contrary to the decision-makers from the Ministry of Education and Science (MEiN) as well as the Ministry of Health (MZ), believes that educational institutions are the real hotspots of the pandemic.On the basis of a detailed analysis of the data provided by the Ministry of Health, contained on the servers of the Statistics Poland (former Central Statistical Office) and the decisions and messages of the Ministry of National Education, the author shows that during the second wave of the pandemic, educational environments were disregarded, which led to numerous problems and tragedies.He indicates there is a need: to conduct analyses which take into account excess mortality and the participation of sick people requiring assistance, to carry out radical changes in the core curriculum as well as in external and internal exams and to verify the protection measures (including UV-C purifiers) before the beginning of the new school year 2021/2022.The presented analyses constitute the crowning evidence of the need to establish self-governance of the teaching community.
