Having lived in Poland for two years I can safely state that Polish people are not as smart as English or western European people. I have met many a Polish wannabe entrepeuner but unfortunately their ideas fall some what short of the mark. After dealing with highly so called eductaed Poles on a day to day basis it really is a breath of fresh air to have a UK investor visit and generally do business with non Poles to bring me back to reality and restore faith in the EU society.
Polish people are well educated without a doubt, I believe it is brainwashed into them at an early age by thier parents to study, study, study or you will not amount to anything. This is the case in Poland, if you do not have a degree you WILL clean toilets period. On the whole in my opinion English people and certainly Western Europeans are better educated in the cultures of life and not just a university school book on Chopin or Darwins theories of relativity thus creating the drive and ambition required for success in the real world.
Polish kids doing well in the UK school system, of course they will.
