The interwar period in Poland saw the rebirth of local government and formation of the foundations for public administration. The main legislative problem was creating a common legal framework for local governments that could be applied throughout the Second Polish Republic, which included the Polish lands that had been ruled by the three partitioners until 1918. It was the time of formulating national reform programs concerning the shape of administrative structure in Poland. Public administration could not function properly without adequately trained personnel. Only competent and professional workers could ensure the maximum effectiveness and efficiency of local government. The Committee on Improvement of Public Administration, which functioned in the period of 1928-1932, was analyzing inter alia the administrators’ educating standards. Many solutions were proposed in order to improve the skills of administrators at all levels of government, starting with the local authorities. There were attempts to implement some new legislation concerning educational requirements for local government employees, but they were not as successful as with regard to civil service workers. However, all these initiatives led to upgrading of the skills and qualifications of local government workers. As a result, by late 1930s most of the administrative personnel, including local government employees, had been appropriately and comprehensively educated in the Second Polish Republic.
