The aim of this paper is to present educational policy towards national minorities in Lithu ania (using the example of the Polish-language education system) as a result of the country’s ethnic and language policy since it regained its independence in 1991 until the present day. The period in question was characterised by significant transformations in the sphere of education of national minorities and the search for a model of coexistence of an ethnic majority and an ethnic minority in one state, in which Lithuanian, having the status of the official language, and Polish, the mother tongue of the largest national minority in Lithuania, have played and are still playing a very significant role. The picture of selected problems connected with Polish-language education in Lithuania is complemented by the fact that these problems are seen in a wider political, social and cultural context, where factors such as the social and economic situation of the country, the political culture of the state, the heritage of the past and relations between the two countries play a very important role.
