This article concerns distinct contexts of schooling for migrant children who are enrolled in private and public educational institutions in Poznań, Poland. In my study, I recognized that although the schools have different methodologies and languages of instruction, teachers expect the same obvious and predictable patterns of migration – either the children will stay in a country permanently or the children will immigrate somewhere else. This factor – educator expectations – can have more consequences on migrant children’s experiences than the differences between type of school – public or private. The exploratory fieldwork was conducted twice, once in 2010 and once 2013, in the same schools with the same group of students and teachers. In the article, I tried to address some obvious and unobvious practices of schools concerning migrant children, such as the myth of the language barrier as a main obstacle to learning, the lack of basic knowledge about countries of origin, the ignorance of multiculturalism as well as the phenomenon of individual treatment in both types of schools. In the recommendations, I give suggestions on how to perceive a migrant child as a strong and influential personality and how schools could conform to liquid migrations.

The article presents data concerning educational offers of schools in Poland and in the Lubuskie province. In 1992 in Poland a reform of the education system began. They ended with a secondary school-leaving examination. Now primary school lasts 6 years, then there are 3 years of lower secondary school, then 3 years of high school or 4 years of technical college. In the 1970s and 1980s, 60 % of pupils after elementary school attended vocational schools and 40 % of them chose schools which ended with an exam. Only 10 % of young people began studying. Now all pupils attend primary schools and lower secondary schools. Then, 13 % of pupils go to vocational schools, the same number to specialized secondary schools which prepare pupils for work, 30 % choose technical colleges and 30 % secondary schools which offer general education. Most of primary, lower secondary and high schools in Poland are public. Only 5 % of primary schools, 10 % of lower secondary schools and technical colleges and 18 % of secondary schools (with general education) are charter (or better community) and private schools. There are more private schools after secondary schools and at higher levels. Among them there are 64 % of colleges and 70 % of higher level schools. But in these schools there are only 50 % of young people, the rest of them study at state schools and universities.
