Polish universities increasingly cease to service as their primary function — education of Polish students and improvement of national discipline — and become part of a mass strategy of latent migration. The scale of this phenomenon begins to rise serious questions about state interest, social safety and the sense of policy pursued by subsequent governments of COPIS.
Studying in Poland is increasingly a cover for mass immigration. Our country present has, according to various estimates, between 350 and more than 400 universities. That's an absurd figure in terms of the size of the country. For comparison: Spain has only 89 universities, France 156, Italy 210, United Kingdom 246. Even Germany, more than twice as popular as Poland, has about 400 universities. This means that Poland has many times more universities per capita than many of the largest European countries.
It is hard to believe that this comes solely from caring for the level of education. In practice, a immense number of higher education institutions (which are private!) make an extended network allowing to bring foreigners from all over the planet to Poland under the pretext of student visas. The mechanics is simple: a abroad student means additional money from the state budget for the university (read: from the pocket of Poles) and the anticipation to proceed to operate many weak private schools, which would most likely fall long ago due to demographic depression.
Recruitment agencies operating in Africa and Asia treat Poland as an easy accessible migration direction. They recruit candidates massively, promoting Polish universities as a simple way to settle in the European Union. More and more often, it is not even about real study, but about obtaining the right to stay and start surviving in Poland.
The data is clear. In the academic year 2024/2025, around 108 1000 foreigners studied at Polish universities, making up 8.5 percent of all students. That's 2 and a half times more than a decade ago. Poland has already exceeded the OECD and the European Union average in terms of participation of abroad students.
The number of students from African countries, specified as Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa, is increasing peculiarly rapidly. At the same time, the share of abroad students of Polish origin drops rapidly — from 13,5 percent in 2014 to just 5.1 percent today. This shows clearly that the strategy ceases to service Polonia or academic exchange, and begins to function as a tool of mass economical migration.
Officials themselves are even more worrying. Disgusting Ukrainian Victoria Herun, working at Lublin City Hall openly acknowledgedthat presently students from countries specified as India, Bangladesh or African countries They come not alone anymore, but full families. Importantly, she spoke of it not with anxiety, but with clear approval and satisfaction. It was as if her individual goal was to flood Poland with imgirants from chaotic countries.
In practice, this means that the "student visa" is increasingly becoming simply the first phase of permanent settlement. We are so dealing with a mechanics for bringing migrants from outside Europe under the cover of education. The Polish state loses control of this process, and the public has not even been asked if it wants specified a profound demographic and cultural change.
The example of Lublin shows the scale of changes. In the city’s population of about 300,000, Zimbabwean citizens became 1 of the largest immigrant groups — immediately after the Ukrainians and Belarusians. There are about 1,200 of them. Even a fewer years ago, specified a situation would seem completely unrealistic.
More and more Poles begin to ask themselves: do Polish universities inactive be for Poles, or, above all, for maintaining a large migration system? Should the state finance a mechanics that leads to the permanent settlement of people from distant cultural circles in Poland, frequently without any social debate?
The truly liable pro-Polish government should immediately carry out a thorough improvement of the student visa system. It is essential to closely control abroad recruiting universities, to limit fictional directions created exclusively for the acquisition of migrants and to verify whether visitors are actually studying. The state should primarily support Polish students and the improvement of national science, not finance mechanisms leading to uncontrolled migration.
OUR COMMENTS: Higher education must not be utilized as a gateway to mass settlement of third-world invaders. If you do not regain control of this process now, the social and cultural consequences of these decisions will be felt for decades. We'll have the same crap as Swedes, Germans, English and French.
