Poland addresses gifted student needs and digital distractions in schools

A new social campaign titled ‘Zdolni, niewidzialni’ (Gifted, Invisible) has been launched in Poland to address the unmet needs of highly talented students. Organizers note that while these students often achieve high academic success, they frequently face loneliness, pressure to be perfect, and a lack of emotional support. The initiative includes diagnostic research among students, parents, and teachers to identify barriers and create educational materials to better support intellectual and creative potential.

In a related discussion regarding the state of Polish education, recent PISA study results highlight challenges facing students. Experts, including Professor Krzysztof Biedrzycki, note that Polish students show a high level of digital distraction and dependency on mobile devices. This has led to discussions regarding the effectiveness of banning phones in schools to improve concentration and mitigate the global trend of electronic addiction among youth.
