Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the problem of Polish educational policy to foreign students in the context of special educational needs. This issue has a particular importance for the increasing number of migration flows in the world. Among those who have decided to leave their homeland are both economic migrants, who want to find a well-paid job in order to improve their economic status and standard of living of their families, as well as refugees who want to find a safe place to live. Education of migrants’ children in Poland is not only an educational but above all social problem. This, it is assumed that the theoretical framework of this issue will be the concept of social development environment by Uri Bronfenbrenner (1979). Furthermore, there is also an attempt to present the possibilities and limitations of the implementation of educational policy towards foreign students on the basis of the opinions of headmasters, teachers and pedagogues from the schools in which are children of immigrants.
