In connection with a thorough reform of the education system in Poland undertaken in recent years, a special attention has been paid to the first effects of “new geographical education” at a secondary school. In 2019/2020 school year, in the first grade of a secondary school there is a situation connected with education of “double-year” pupils who follow both the current version of the core curriculum (after a lower secondary school) and the new version, according to the “new core curriculum” after a primary school. This situation, in addition to an organizational confusion previously expected by both the management of schools and the secondary school teachers, raises a lot of controversy in shaping the subject competences of the first grade students. These pupils started their education at “new secondary school” without a meticulous geographical preparation, limited to two grades of a primary school - VII and VIII grades. In contrast, pupils pursuing the core curriculum after a lower secondary school, follow a different content implementation program and complete a compulsory geographic education after the first grade. The study undertakes an intricate attempt to estimate the effects of geographical education for secondary school students of two years implementing various core curricula. This task is complicated on account of the fact that these two years at one secondary school grade already implement different core curricula and diverse courses of study. It is worth analyzing the possibilities of developing geographical competences among secondary school students and subjecting them to an assessment and reflection, which is the main goal of this paper.
