The Ministry of Education and CERN signed a new agreement to secure the Polish Programme for physics and science teacher training. The agreement covers a five-year period with automatic annual renewal.
What Changed?
The agreement formalizes continued teacher training at CERN, including one-week Polish-language training editions for up to 48 participants. The program focuses on modern physics, particle physics, cosmology, applications, and teaching methods.
Old System vs New System
The teacher training program had resumed in 2023, but the June 2026 agreement created a new stable cooperation basis for future editions.
The program now has a five-year agreement with automatic annual renewal, supporting repeated teacher training editions at CERN.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students may benefit from teachers bringing updated physics content and classroom methods back from the training.
Parent / Family Impact
No direct parent-specific operational change was identified.
School / Institution Impact
Schools may nominate or support eligible science teachers for future training editions.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Physics and science teachers gain a continued international professional development route through CERN.
