The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Protection has submitted a report according to which the minimum will be 4,927 zloty (1,161 euros) from the beginning of 2027. This is significantly higher than the previously discussed amount. And it is important, as the “minimum wage” affects social benefits.

Funding for state-funded enrollment slots at higher education institutions this year is being allocated according to long-established rules—based on the budget allocation limit and the “capacity” of the universities. Of course, the focus on the economy’s need for qualified specialists is implicit. So far, the balance of interests tips in favor of “free” training only for teachers and IT specialists, who are in short supply.
