A fewer days ago, the utmost left-wing Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka announced her desire to make wellness education compulsory. At the same time, MEN discusses the alleged anticipation of exclusion from the scope of compulsory, content concerning alleged sexual education. It's just an apparent concession— convince in their analysis experts of the Ordo Iuris Institute. In practice, it is about imposing sex and sodomitic content on Polish children, but in tiny steps.
Nowacka tries again to trick her parents about "health education". For part of the public and the media, the announcement of exclusion from compulsory teaching, elements of sexual education, is interpreted as a compromise against parents' concerns and demands. Meanwhile, in a legal survey published on 29 January 2026, Marek Puzio (analysing the Ordo Iuris project) argues that specified exclusion of sexual education content is apparent, and for respective reasons.
Firstly, the proposed MEN programme lacks a clear definition of "sexual education". The Ministry and parents can realize this word rather differently, which makes most of the content of the controversy stay in the program, regardless of the declared exemptions.
Secondly, the mandatory content is to be implemented independently of the parents' consent – the teacher would decide whether and to what degree he discusses the "optional" content, which, according to the authors of the study, contradicts the parents' right to rise according to their beliefs.
Thirdly, the "health education" programme besides contains a number of ideological issues, including gender/neolysenkos, alleged "sexual orientation", "diversity", "climate change" or "speak of hatred", which go beyond the purely healthful scope of the subject and constitute a purely ideological message, in an highly left-wing spirit.
The authors of the survey from Ordo Iuris indicate that the wellness education program presents certain issues in a way that they believe is of a clear view of the planet alternatively than just information or prevention. In their opinion, specified content is intended to distort the child's value strategy towards the left, which violates the constitutional right of parents to rise their children according to their own beliefs and interferes in this educational sphere, which is formally part of the family.
Although MEN declared the anticipation of optional implementation of sexuality content, Ordo Iuris emphasizes that optionality would depend on the decision of the teacher, not the will of the parents – which in their opinion minimizes the real influence of parents on what children learn.
Controversy about the introduction of compulsory wellness education in Poland is not just a debate on the sexuality of students. For its critics, the problem has wider implications of the worldview and legal. In their view, the MEN proposal constitutes a lateral introduction of ideological content into the school strategy and the declared compromise on the optional content is purely simplistic.
In turn, proponents of change argue that the programme responds to the "real needs" of youth wellness education, combining prevention with cognition of issues relating to relations, body and intellectual wellness – in a manner consistent with "up-to-date global standards" i.e. recommendations mastered by the far left, the planet wellness Organisation (WHO).
