“…In Polish literature, issues related to the accessibility of education relate mainly to secondary education, more often situations in cities (Gil & Semczuk 2015). The main topics that can be distinguished in the research conducted so far in rural areas in education are the quality of education, barriers to education (Flaga & Wesołowska 2002, Domalewski 2011, limited spatial accessibility to schools (Guzik 2003;Czapiewski & Janc 2012) or the problem of closing rural schools (Kopeć 2013, Bajerski & Błaszczyk 2015. The latter problem in rural areas also applies to other countries in the world (Witham 1997, Kovács 2012, Taghizadeh 2019.…”

Dynamic changes in the number of inhabitants of rural areas in Poland entail necessity to adjust the market of public services and determine the way they are provided. In practice the intensity of this process varies both interregional and intra-regional. The objective of the study was to present how the uneven demographic changes including number of children affect organization of primary education by rural municipalities in selected Polish region. Research tasks were to present spatial diversity of demographic changes and number of pupils and schools and to identify and classify the ways of organization of education by rural municipalities depending on demographic processes. Research used data provided by Central Statistical Office for period 1998-2017. Moreover, data collected in own research (interviews conducted in 2018 and 2019) allowed to recognize public education services perception by local governments and rural society. Keywords: demographic changes; public services; schools; rural society; Poland

“…In this type of locality, there is usually only one school, and its closure has significant social as well as economic consequences. Closing a rural school is associated with a reduction of jobs, not only through teaching positions and this process also affects village residents who are associated in many ways with a school's activities (Bajerski, Błaszczyk, 2015;Trnková, 2009). It is also noted that closures lower the rank of the village in the local settlement structure as a result of fewer bus connections or none, the closing of stores, the post office or kindergartens (Kučerová, 2012;Mandujano, Giesen, Ferrer, 2012).…”

The Impact of the Closure of Primary Schools on the Economic Development of Rural Areas in Małopolska Voivodeship

In the last two decades, the map of the primary school network in Poland has undergone a significant transformation, especially in rural areas that are suffering depopulation. These changes generally involve the closing of small rural schools and this leads to numerous conflicts between residents and local government. However, it is rarely pointed out that closing a school can be a fatal blow to the local community, not only due to the reduction in the social activity of residents but also the loss of jobs which contributes to the economic decline of a village. However, few studies can confirm this thesis. Therefore, this article aims to present the spatial diversity of the reorganisation process of the primary school network in rural areas of Małopolska Voivodeship and attempts to determine the impact of school closures on the economic development of those villages. To achieve this, the author compared the average value of the entrepreneurship indicator for 2018 with changes in the number of businesses for 2009–2018 for individual villages. The calculated values were compiled for those communities where the primary school was closed and for those villages in which the residents decided to take over a school from the local government with their own organisation or association. For comparison of selected indicators, differences in the average values for the two types of localities were presented using a one-way ANOVA variance analysis. The research showed much higher economic activity in places where the school was taken over compared to where the school was closed. In addition, the places where the school was taken over showed a stronger rate of growth for the number of businesses registered in the REGON system.

"The study focuses on the process of reorganization of the primary school network in the Polish Carpathians, in the period 2000-2020, determined by population dynamics and the education reform in Poland, which focused on the abolition of middle schools (junior high schools) and the return to eight-year primary schools. Primary schools located in the Polish Carpathians represent almost 10% of all schools of this type in Poland, usually with a smaller number of pupils/school (1/4 when compared to the national average). In mountainous areas with a specific settlement network, the closure of a primary school in a small village usually leads to several socioeconomic issues and may become subject to changing the managing authority due to budgetary reasons. The main aim was to determine the dynamics of the process and analyze spatial differentiations, by investigating the relation between population change in the 15-39 age group and the change in the number of schools, and to identify the location of the closed schools. Results show variability in the dynamics of the analysed variables in the case of Polish Carpathians compared to the national level, for instance, much slower dynamics of school closures than the rest of the country, the number of primary schools dropping by 14% between 2000 and 2020, while the greatest decrease in the number of pupils was observed in the Carpathian communes of Subcarpathian Voivodeship, especially in peripheral locations. However, we can conclude that in mountainous areas school closure has been highly avoided due to the engagement of different types of managing authorities, from local government to other public or private entities, in governing these schools.
