Okręgowa Komisja Egzaminacyjna

What Okręgowa Komisja Egzaminacyjna does

Okręgowa Komisja Egzaminacyjna w Poznaniu (OKE w Poznaniu) is a Polish state budget entity (państwowa jednostka budżetowa) without separate legal personality, established on 18 February 1999 and directly subordinate to the Centralna Komisja Egzaminacyjna (CKE). It is one of eight regional examination commissions in Poland and operates under the Education System Act of 7 September 1991. Its statutory function is to organize and conduct standardized national examinations — chiefly the 8th-grade exam (egzamin ósmoklasisty) and the matriculation exam (egzamin maturalny) — and to manage vocational and external examinations across its territorial jurisdiction of three voivodeships: Lubuskie, Wielkopolskie, and Zachodniopomorskie. This makes it the largest regional commission by area, organized into 9 coordination centers and operating from leased premises at ul. Gronowa 22, 61-655 Poznań.

OKE w Poznaniu does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its services are mandatory by law for any student completing the relevant educational stage in its territory, and its funding flows from the Polish state budget rather than from user fees. The commission serves as the sole authorized body to issue standardized educational credentials in its jurisdiction, supporting both in-school students and adult external candidates (eksternistyczne). It maintains authorized exam centers in schools, educational institutions, employer sites, and qualification course operators, and collaborates with three regional Education Superintendents (Kuratorzy oświaty) for exam administration and authorization.

Technologically, the organization operates a candidate-facing e-deklaracje electronic declaration system, electronic examiner registries, and examination results databases, distributed exclusively through its statutory Public Information Bulletin (BIP) at bip.oke.poznan.pl. It employs 138 staff including the Director Marcjanna Klessa, Deputy Director Marcin Jakubowski (who also serves as Data Protection Officer), and dedicated department heads for general education exams, vocational exams, organizational-administration, and finance-accounting. The entity holds RODO/GDPR compliance documentation and a public accessibility declaration under the Polish Digital Accessibility Act.
