The paper attempts to systematise the existing knowledge on language rights in the field of education conferred on Ukrainian children enjoying temporary protection in Poland against the background of Polish language policy. The paper relies mostly on the legal-dogmatic method and document analysis. In order to achieve this goal, the article draws on a literature review in the field, the existing estimates, as well as the relevant data on the implementation of the Polish language policy in the area of education. The study identifies key linguistic aspects of the right to education by Ukrainian children attending Polish schools, including provisions for learning Polish as the official language of a host state. This involves preparatory classes and the right to learn foreign languages on the same basis as Polish schoolchildren. Finally, the paper tentatively assesses the actual implementation of the above rights and indicates the need for further empirical research in this area.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>10aeducation policy10alanguage policy10alanguage rights10aminority language10arights and obligations of children with temporary protection in Polish education10aUkrainian minors1 aSkorupa-Wulczyńska, Aneta  uhttps://www.ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/language-rights-ukrainian-minors-enjoying-temporary-protection-poland-field-education
