In this episode of Education Planet, we sit down with Jan Kosinski Gortych, head of the Unit for Educational and Specialist Support at Poland’s Ministry of National Education and IVLP alumnus. Jan shares his incredible travel mishaps on the way to the U.S., offers insights into Poland’s inclusive education policies, and reflects on how global perspectives—from Kentucky schools for the blind to innovative school architecture—reshape his vision of learning.

We explore the differences between U.S. and Polish education systems, the lasting impact of WWII on schooling in Europe, and why Jan believes AI will fundamentally transform the teacher-student relationship in the coming years.

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about challenges, change, and cooperation in education worldwide.
