A/HRC/41/33/Add.433/Add.4 and civic competences and introduces them to the world of values such as dedication, cooperation, solidarity, altruism, building social relations. General education aims to strengthen the sense of pupils’ individual identity, fostering a sense of self-esteem and respect for others, as well as shaping an attitude of openness to the world and other people. Accordingly, children in kindergarten learn to cooperate, recognize values related to social skills and behaviours, respect the rights and duties of both themselves and other people. The development of social and civic competences in primary school is mainly based on the implementation of teaching content of school subjects such as Polish, history, civics, geography, physical education, art and music. For example, at civics classes, while discussing Human Rights, students learn that human dignity is the basis of various moral systems and that it is a source of universal, innate, inviolable and inalienable freedoms and human rights; they analyse the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, explore the rights and personal freedoms contained in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, look into children’s rights and provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, talk about examples of the activities of the Ombudsman for Children and the objectives of the UNICEF. They also learn about the role of the Commissioner for Human Rights, discuss the activities of NGOs to protect human rights. Pupils learn how to be tolerant towards minorities and how to oppose intolerance. Ethics lessons are devoted to teaching respect, understanding and love. Students learn about kindness, altruism, caring, selflessness, volunteering, friendship, gratitude, compassion, empathy, trust, personal integrity, tolerance, common good, cooperation, justice, the rule of law, and solidarity. Issues concerning the roles of men and women in the context of stereotypes, and, issues related to family functions, fulfilling marital and parental roles, social roles, better understanding of themselves and the immediate environment were included in the core curriculum of the subject education for family life. In the new core curriculum for secondary schools 2 (which will be applied in schools from the school year 2019/2020), social and civic education is taught at the following classes: Polish, philosophy, history, civics, ethics, education for family life, physical education. In the core curriculum of civics, chapter Self-understanding, recognizing and solving problems teaches human dignity and rights enjoyed by everyone, citizenship, and actions in social life. It also teaches pupils to recognize cases of human rights violations and social and political problems at local, national, European and global levels and offers ways to address them. The subject Education for family life teaches contents regarding interpersonal relationships and their importance in social and emotional development. It focuses on mutual respect, rendering mutual assistance, cooperation, empathy, concepts of 'masculinity' and 'femininity', marriage, parenthood, building lasting and happy relationships.
