Abstract
The article analyses the teaching program of the Party School at the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR) between 1952–1956, based on the example of cultural and educational staff training. Party’s education was supposed to liquidate the staff shortage severely affecting the state administration and party. After the World War II, when the situation was stabilising and communists strengthened their rule, there was a gradual structural and organizational restructuring of the polish educational system. It was started by the Central School of the Polish Workers’ Party (PPR), established in 1944 in Lublin. The whole party education was strongly connected PPR and PZPR through special departments established for this purpose in the Central Committee. They were Training Department, Department of Party Schools and lastly The Party Training Sector in the Propaganda department. With time, such education has changed its form to mass training, including ordinary members of the party and ordinary employees in the state administration.
