LangMark welcomes its first international essay! An insightful essay from Poland that explores what secondary education could and should be in a world that is constantly changing.

Written by Emilia Bielawa and Karolina Cywa, this essay questions the weaknesses of traditional schooling, from standardized testing to the neglect of students’ mental health. Emilia and Karolina argue for a more flexible system, one that supports emotional growth, respects individual learning styles, and encourages curiosity over conformity. As they put it, “School should not be a source of stress or pressure, but a place where students feel safe to explore who they are and what they care about.” As a piece that deserves to be read, this essay challenges readers to reconsider what education is truly for, and why it must change.

We sincerely thank Emilia and Karolina for sharing their ideas with LangMark and with our readers. This is not just an essay, but a fresh perspective that encourages readers to reflect on what education should become. Thanks to their contribution, LangMark has taken a step towards becoming a global platform. We’re excited to continue this journey of learning and sharing beyond borders!
