Pre-school and early childhood pedagogy with the Certificate “Studia z Przyszłością”
During the 9th edition of the Competition and Certification Program “Studia z Przyszłością” [Studies with the future], the Selection Board decided to grant the Accreditation Certificate 2024 to Pre-school and early childhood pedagogy, the program of the Faculty of Historical and Pedagogical Sciences of the University of Wrocław. The application of Pre-school and early childhood pedagogy scored 59 points (out of 60 points), which resulted in the additional awarding of yet another certificate for the field, namely Extraordinary Certificate – Lider Jakości Kształcenia [Leader of the quality of education].
Competition and Certification Program “Studia z Przyszłością” is a project organized by the Foundation for the Development of Education and Higher Education and the Creative Agency PRC. The project discovers and promotes academic centers and educational initiatives, where passion intertwines with wisdom, culture, knowledge, and beauty of the human mind. The courses and institutions recognized by the program are the most valuable venues for academic activities in Poland. (source: https://www.studiazprzyszloscia.pl/strona-105)
