In 1946, Dr Stefania Mazurek elaborated a project of organizing a school in Opole designed for adults who had attended German schools before and did not know the Polish language to a sufficient degree. The didactic work at the junior high and senior high schools in Opole (popularly called re-polonizing comprehensive grammar school) was run along two parallel lines. One, which fulfilled tasks of compensatory character consisted in courses mastering the knowledge of the Polish language, which were organized before the noon, while teaching proper, that is education run in compliance with the ministerial guidelines was going on in the afternoon. There were 700 people who came from Opole Region that applied for a place in the school. Part of the graduates pursued their education in Polish universities. The mission of the institution, apart from providing regular education was to integrate Silesian students with the Polish environment. The situation in 1950 caused the school to be closed and its management to be dismissed. The specific character of the region was not taken into account as regards continuing the re-polonizing project.
