Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the development of Polish comparative education in the 20th century. Growing interest in comparative research in the 1960s among well-known Polish historians of education and educators was presented by showing the specifics of English school system. The development of scientific pedagogy in Poland has significantly increased the interest
in other educational systems in Europe. The publication of studies on English schools and the history of education in the United Kingdom was very original and enjoyed great recognition among Polish scholars. Outstanding Polish educators and historians of education (except for Bogdan Nawroczyński) are rarely known for their achievements in the field of comparative education. The first part of the article presents the contribution of B. Nawroczyński to the development of Polish comparative education. The article proves that the publications of Polish authors: Zygmunt Kukulski, Jan Konopnicki and Karol Kotłowski from the 1940s and 1960s did not lose their relevance, they should be a model of scientific reliability and a compendium of knowledge about the history of education in England. The study used the method of documental analysis, original publications of Polish authors dealing with English education.
