Student cooperatives: new operating rules in schools

The act introduces detailed regulations for student cooperatives in Polish schools and educational institutions. It specifies who can establish such cooperatives, what activities they may conduct, and what financial and organizational obligations they have.
Key points
Students from age 13 can establish school cooperatives – minimum 5 people required and parental consent needed for minors.
Cooperatives may run service, trade, manufacturing or socio-cultural activities, but are not businesses – they have no legal personality and simplified accounting only.
Members do not earn from the cooperative – entry fee capped at 10 PLN, profits go to statutory purposes, not distributed among students.
A teacher-supervisor appointed by the school director oversees the cooperative's activities and finances.
Existing cooperatives have until September 1, 2027 to adjust their statutes to the new regulations.
