Turek City Council raises scholarship requirements

The Turek City Council has passed a resolution to increase the academic requirements for the Mayor of Turek scholarships. The new regulations raise the required grade point average for primary school students from 5.0 to 5.2.

Officials stated the change is intended to increase the prestige of the award and motivate youth, noting that a high number of recipients had caused the distinction to lose its original character. Estimates suggest that out of approximately 490 applications, over one hundred might no longer meet the new criteria.

The resolution also expands the scope of eligible students from those attending municipal schools to all primary schools located within the city's territory. During the session, Councilor Dariusz Kałużny raised concerns regarding the legal preparation of the resolution, citing outdated regulations and potential inconsistencies with existing laws.
