New rules for setting up and running student cooperatives

This law introduces clear and simple regulations for student cooperatives in schools. Students aged 13 and older will be able to more easily start their own small ventures, like shops or services, without complex paperwork. The cooperative will not need full accounting or court registration, and all profits will be used for school purposes.
Key points
Students aged 13 and older can start a cooperative with parental and principal consent.
The cooperative is not a business – no court registration or full accounting is needed, only simplified records.
Membership fee is capped at 10 PLN, and profits are not distributed among members but used for statutory activities (e.g., school goals).
A designated teacher supervises the cooperative, helping with management and overseeing finances.
The law takes effect on September 1, 2026; existing cooperatives must adapt their statutes by September 1, 2027.
