Summary/Abstract: In over seventy-five years of its activity, the Association of Polish Teachers Abroad, in accordance with the Statute, has promoted Polishness in exile, and cared for preserving both the mother tongue and Polish culture. The Board has performed its duties socially, thus serving God and the homeland. A slogan “I nic nad Boga” [And nothing above God] was placed on the banner of the organization, which was solemnly consecrated on 13 October 2002. This short inscription, which is extremely rich in content, fully reflects the values that the subsequent generations of teachers of Polish Schools of Native Subjects in Great Britain have been faithful to over the years.
