WHY ATTEND THE FAIR

There’s never been a better time than now to take advantage of the growing affluent educational market in Poland, particularly in big cities, such as Warsaw and the 3-city conglomerate: Gdansk, Gdynia & Sopot where more and more parents have the motivation and increasingly the means to send their children to the best and most prestigious schools abroad.

•    135 000 pupils attend primary schools (age 7-15) in Warsaw and 45 000 in the Tricity area. There is a huge demand amongst Polish pupils for developing one’s skills through enrolling in programs such as the IB, A-level, Abitur, US Diploma and many more.

•    40 000 pupils in Warsaw and 10 000 in Gdańsk are enrolled in private schools which either teach in English or have an extended English language teaching curriculum. The children usually graduate from above primary schools with language skills at minimum B1 level which enables them to participate actively in activities and programmes run in English abroad.

•    There are 71 non-public high schools in Warsaw, among them 12 international ones offering the IBDP (8), British A-levels (2) or teaching the IGCSE (2) curriculum, whereas in Gdańsk there are 7 private bilingual high schools, (two of the first IB schools in the country).  Every year, young pupils look for the best opportunities to learn abroad and prepare for universities.

•    Between the years 2013-2023 the number of students in private secondary schools (age 15-19) has risen by 300% which shows that more and more parents seek alternatives to the state educational curriculum not only in the country but also abroad.

•    More parents every year are able and willing to invest in their children’s education as they are aware that it will help their children secure a place at higher education institutions of their choice and prepare them for the job market of the future.

•    The capital’s residents enjoy a standard of living that reflects the city's economic prosperity, with a GDP that surpasses the national average. What is more, the GDP per capita in Warsaw is forecast to grow by another 28% from 2023 to 2028 (according to Statista.com)
