“Management and leadership in education” conference took place at University of Warsaw in June 2018. During the conference there was a panel session whose theme focused on the issues of school management in the face of education reform carried out in Poland recently. The article is a record of educational and organisational problems faced by schools that underwent the reform. Thirteen problem areas are presented, for example, the scope of duties of the headmaster; student situation and parent situation with regard to transformation of schooling structure as well as school curriculum; relocation of teachers etc. Headmasters participating in the panel session represented different types of schools hence the comparison of public and private schools was made possible.
