The Ministry of National Education (Polish: Ministerstwo Edukacji Narodowej, MEN) is a ministerial department of the government of Poland, established on 1 January 2024 after being separated from the Ministry of Education and Science.[1] The ministry's prerogatives include setting educational standards and youth activities. It does not oversee higher education, which falls under Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The two were created in May 2006 by splitting the Ministry of Education and Science.[2] In January 2021, the two were merged, only to be separated again in 2024.[3][1]
