The Polish authorities, before the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, carried out a thorough analysis of the internal law in order to determine the degree of compliance of its provisions with the provisions of that document. The effects of these analyses have become an important argument for the draft law on ratification of the Conventionsubmitted to the Parliament on the 27th of April 2012 by the Government of our country. In the explanatory memorandum, the Government argued that our country was already ensuring the proper implementation of its provisions, also in the sphere of education. This optimistic view of our legal reality was not shared by everyone. Polemics with declarations propagated by the authorities of the country appeared both before and after the ratification of the Convention, which took place in 2012. They also addressed solutions in the field of education of persons with disabilities, i.e. compliance of the provisions of our educational law and their practical implementation in accordance with art. 24 of the Conventionen titled „Education”. Various parties spoke out, including the Ombudsman, a state body independent of other authorities. Some of mentioned polemics, but also recommendations made during them, are the content of this article.
