Concrete answers for directors
We have collected the questions that school owners and EdTech creators ask us most often. We lay our cards on the table.
Who exactly are you and who do you represent?
Sgela Education Advocacy is a lobbying office based in Lublin. Since November 2017, we have represented the interests of private schools and EdTech platforms. Maria Pawlak and her team ensure that the voice of the non-public sector is heard in the Ministry of Education. We lay our cards on the table – we are not theorists, but practitioners of regulations.
How long does an audit of my educational platform take?
A full EdTech platform audit regarding MEiN requirements takes exactly 13 business days. During this time, we check regulations, code, and technical documentation. Finally, you get a list of concrete corrections from us. We have already helped 19 tech companies safely enter public schools.
What are the costs of working with your office?
Regulations are our field, so our rates are clear. Monthly legal monitoring costs 1,840 PLN. If you need Maria Pawlak to personally represent you in Warsaw, the cost is 5,370 PLN per month. There are no hidden fees for 'readiness' – you pay for real work.
Can you help if officials withheld my subsidy?
Yes, in 2024 we successfully intervened in 47 cases regarding blocked money. We know who picks up the phone in the ministry and how to talk to officials about errors in the SIO system. Recovering the funds usually takes from 19 to 34 business days.
Do you only operate in Lublin and the surrounding area?
We serve facilities and companies from across Poland. Our main office is located at 4 Grodzka Street in Lublin, but we are in Warsaw an average of 3 times a week. We send reports from every meeting in the ministry to you within 24 hours, so you always know where you stand.
How does legal monitoring help me in running my school?
Without unnecessary talk about vision – we monitor draft laws before the media finds out about them. We give you a lead of about 3-4 weeks. Thanks to this, you can calmly change contracts with parents or adapt the system before the new law begins to apply.
Do you have a specific problem with the board of education or new regulations? Write to us. Maria Pawlak reads every message and responds in an average of 110 minutes.
