AbstractThe presented approach makes it possible to investigate the interconnection between educational and national economy systems. The existing Polish educational system with its future changes has been described which enable authors to formulate the model equations. The model takes into consideration all school levels with their essential parameters and enables to estimate the number of people with specified education level every year.Model parameters were obtained by the investigation of the statistical data. A simple simulation model and a computer BASIC program were constructed. The computer simulation was carried out to verify the model and investigate how the state policy influences the functioning of the educational system.Some possibilities of application of the presented model to determine the future state strategies in the school system management were also underlined.
