Martin Kulesek

Martin Kulesek is the Minister of Science and Higher Education in Poland. He has been in the news recently for signing a decree outlining new language proficiency requirements for foreign students seeking admission to Polish universities. This decree, which went into effect on August 1, 2023, mandates that applicants demonstrate Polish language proficiency at a B2 level through specific certificates, a move that has sparked controversy and concern among international students and educational institutions due to the abrupt implementation and lack of transitional provisions.
