Summary/Abstract: Pupils with special educational needs constitute a special group of people to whom educational activities are addressed. Education is particularly important for this group of pupils. It could provide a chance to live a normal life, to improve the living conditions, or to change their social environment. First of all, however, education contributes to the disclosure and development of intellectual potential of pupils with special educational needs. Polish legislation favours these pupils by giving them special opportunities, such as increasing learning time and creating favourable conditions during examinations. However, it is of special concern, that the increasing number of pupils at school has an certificate of special educational needs, or is considered by teachers and educators as pupils with special educational needs.
