The Commission of National Education (Komisja Edukacji Narodowej) established in 1773, was the world’s first state ministry of education. The education of Polish society was a goal of the nation’s rulers as early as the 12th century. The library catalogue of the Cathedral Chapter of Kraków dating back to 1110 shows that in the early 12th-century Polish academia had access to European and Classical literature. The Jagiellonian University was founded in 1364 by King Casimir III in Kraków—the school is the world’s 19th oldest university.
As of 2012, Programme for International Student Assessment, coordinated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, ranks Poland’s educational system higher than the OECD average. In Poland, there are 500 university-level institutions for the pursuit of higher education.
