The Karaite Religious Union in the Second Polish Republic was one of the smaller religious unions in the country. At that time, there were four Karaite communities with a total population of approximately 1,000–1,500 people. Work on a law regulating relations between the state and the Karaite Religious Union began in 1928 after Seraj Shapshal was elected to the position of khan, which allowed him to legally represent the union. The article discusses the issue of teaching the Karaite religion in schools, as included in the draft bills, and shows the linguistic and substantive changes to the provision on this issue and the procedure for its approval in the legislative process in the Polish parliament. The teaching of the Karaite religion is included in Article 26 of the Act, which contains elements constituting the norm of Article 120 of the 1921 Constitution, which made it compulsory to teach the religion of a state-recognised religious association until the age of 18, and laid down the rules for the recruitment of religious teachers and supervision of the teaching process.
