During World War II decision-making educational centres (in Poland and abroad), as well as numerous political and trade union groupings, apart from organizing clandestine teaching, were concerned with working out the concept of the political system of education in the post-war Poland. These concepts reflected social and political opinions of particular centres. It must also be noted that very often the same persons participated in programme commissions of, e.g. the Clandestine Organisation of Teachers (TON), the Department of Education and Culture of the National Branch of the Government of the Republic of Poland and popular or socialist movements. Therefore, some problems were dealt in the same way by different groupings or a lack of unanimity could have been observed within the same grouping, e.g. TON worked out at least three diff erent outlines of the educational political system. In the said period many concepts of the post-war system were created, which after the war were again the object of debate. In the article the author presents short characteristics of the concepts which some educational centres and some political parties tried to enforce.
