Nowacka: Nawrocki vetoed the right to take dangerous items from a pupil

Education Minister Barbara Nowacka wrote on X that President Karol Nawrocki, besides the law on blocking illegal content on the internet, “also vetoed — in the law on pupils' rights and obligations — the right to confiscate dangerous items from a pupil”. This concerns amendments to the “Education Law” and the law on the education system.

The president vetoed this law in early July. He then said that he “does not question the need to protect pupils' rights”, but that, in his assessment, the law “increases bureaucracy”.

On Thursday evening the Sejm passed a new version of the law on blocking illegal content, a response to Nawrocki's January veto. The document has been sent to the Senate. Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski urged the president to sign it.
