„Wleczemy za sobą długi ogon nie przezwyciężonej przeszłości”. Pierwsza dekada

In the opening speech of the 10th National Pedagogical Congress, the activity of the Polish Educational Research Association was acknowledged. In the first decade after 1989, under the direction of Professor Mikołaj Kozakiewicz Polish Educational Research Association was to build education for the expected state’s democratic system transformation. However, already in 1993, prof. M. Kozakiewicz warned against the possibility of a recurrence of totalitarianism as a result of the lack of social ability to overcome old habits of thinking and acting. The 10th Congress is a new call to continue efforts to shape critical and active citizenship.
