Polish Education Minister halts liquidation of children's holiday centers following protests

Minister Barbara Nowacka has suspended the planned closure of Domy Wczasów Dziecięcych (DWD) following significant pushback from facility directors, labor unions, and local governments. The decision to pause the liquidation reflects the government's need to re-evaluate the policy, as stakeholders argue that existing boarding facilities cannot adequately replace the specialized services provided by DWD.
