For the 14th time, WSEI University has recognised outstanding schools, headteachers, teachers, students, and innovative initiatives across secondary schools in the Lublin Province. The official “School of Innovation” Awards Ceremony took place on 22 April at the headquarters of WSEI University.
Opening the gala, Dr h.c. Teresa Bogacka, President of WSEI University, emphasised:
- We have not gathered here merely to present awards, but to honour those who have the courage to transform education. At our University, We believe that innovation is, above all, about people. Change depends on our willingness to step off the beaten path, to ask questions, and to seek new solutions. In this competition, we do not reward projects - we reward people.
Awards were presented in seven categories:
Anna Antyga, Headteacher of C. K. Norwid Secondary School No. 2 in Krasnystaw, whose school received the top honour, said:
- This prestigious title belongs to our entire team. I would like to thank all staff and teachers this achievement is the result of our collective effort.
The title of “Headteacher – Leader of Innovation” was awarded to Jolanta Rycyk, Headteacher of UN No. 1 Secondary School in Biłgoraj, who noted:
- We have participated in this competition for 15 years, receiving awards every year. This distinction is a great honour, but also a responsibility. It reflects the work of our entire school community.
This year, 26 secondary schools took part in the competition. Winners were selected by a distinguished jury composed of representatives from education, public administration, and media.
In addition to certificates and trophies, winners received prizes such as laptops, printers, headphones, and external drives, funded by WSEI University, the Marshal’s Office of the Lublin Province, the City of Lublin, and PKO BP Bank.
TVP3 Lublin, the event’s media patron, will produce a feature film about the winning school.
