Summary/Abstract: Intensive migration of recent years is gradually transforming Polish schools into multicultural ones. This article presents and analyses the social and organizational consequences of new legal regulations on the residence and education of pupils with migratory experience who have insufficient knowledge of Polish to take advantage of education in Polish schools. It draws attention to the need for schools to make organizational adjustments, including the development of new curricular content and the necessity of training school employees in new (meta)competencies. These include intercultural and communicative competencies, with special regard to techniques for working with pupils that do not speak Polish (or speak it poorly) in class, and which support subject learning in Polish. The framework for discussion is the concept of inclusive schools that take into account this new type of pupil in Polish schools, as well as the need to equip teachers with new competencies and prepare the learning environment.
