The author discusses new requirements for the shape ofthe educational system in a modern society. A necessityto ensure methodology of intellectual work for all theschool graduates is stressed as well as the need to in-troduce new forms of permanent education which wouldfunction as a follow-up of the school learning. The signif-icance of mass-media in the permanent education proc-esses is pointed out on the example of the television.The Polish TV in cooperation with UNESCO initiated in1966 a series called "TV Technical University" whichcontained lectures at the academic level and was coor-dinated with a network of consultation centers for theviewers. The viewers were students at day and extra-mural departments of technical universities as well asemployees in technical institutions. Results of the cam-paign were discussed at the European Conference onTV Adult Education organized in Warsaw in 1968. Theauthor also discusses some new initiatives of the TV Uni-versity, i.e. preparatory courses for candidates for uni-versity studies, agricultural secondary school lectures andforeign language courses for adults. In the final part ofthe article the project is discussed of the Teacher Radioand TV University as prepared by the Inter universityDepartment for Research on Higher Education in co-operation with teacher training colleges, TV and radiospecialists, and representatives of publishing houses.

A iiscossion pertains to the network of schoolingin rural and urban regions, to the social origin of thelearners, their age, motivation and aspirations and to thequalifications of the teaching staff.

During the stayin the primary school for adults the adolescents, mainly

17-year-olds are formally involved in the professionalwork which actually is not the source of their living.Therefore, schools for working adults are faced withproblems other than those for solving which they havebeen established. The author postulates to preserve schoolsof this type merely for the working adults. Adolescentsabove the compulsory school age should be placed inclasses attached to special schools. Provision of voca-tional training alongside with general education inschools for working adults is indispensable as well as in-troduction of additional stimuli for further learning.

The resoltion adopted by the Council of Ministers andthe guidelines advanced by the Commission of Scienceand Education of the Polish Diet make the employinginstitutions responsible for raising professional qualifi-cations of the employees. Therefore, a large number ofprimary schools for working adults hive been establishedby the employing institutions alongside with vocationaltraining courses. The author quotes data from the bul-letins of the Main Bureau of Statistics stating that thenumber of adults under the age of forty without the fullprimary school education amounts to 790 thousand, whilethe number of illiterate and semi-illiterate people to60 thousand. In the light of the analysis carried out bythe author a large number of these cases are clue to theimproper attitude on the part of the employing institu-tions which do not insist on the continuation of learningand do not provide educational opportunities for theiremployees. In the final part of the article the authorpresents a draft of the program of educational activitiesin this field prepared by the Ministry of Education. Thefollowing new forms will be introduced to the educa-tional system: 1) courses preparing for the examinationgiving the title of a qualified worker, including bothgeneral and vocational subjects, 2) Saturday-Sundaycourses, 3) special courses at the level of the primary

The author discusses various aspects of in-service train-ing and retraining courses indispensable because of thechanging requirements brought about by advances inscience and technology. A classification of in-servicetraining methods into four groups is postulated accordingto the function of schooling. The criterion is, therefore,a comparison as between the amount and the type ofeducation on the one hand and the professional require-ments, on the other. Various types of this relation arethen analyzed such as, for instance, when the employee'seducation surpasses the requirements, when the require-ments surpass the pre-service training, when the scopeis equal and when a change in the requirements callsfor a full retraining process. Three functions i.e. theadaptative, the compensative and the reconstructive arethen discussed at length. In the final part of the articlethe author gives consideration to the organizationalaspects of the in-service training.
