A gift for students at the Remand Centre

Thanks to donors, KUL donated computer equipment to the Remand Centre in Lublin.  The laptops - as they are the equipment in question - are intended for inmates, who are students of the university.  The computers are to help in the educational process and to facilitate the writing of theses.  

The laptops have been adjusted to the security requirements of the Prison Service and have special software installed. This is a symbolic act on the part of the academic community, arising from the need to ensure proper and respectable conditions for inmates to pursue their studies.

The Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) is one of few universities in Poland that enable inmates to gain a higher education.  The inmates follow the full programme of university classes, with the exception that they are conducted in the Remand Centre.  The offered courses are in the field of family studies, specialising in assisting dependent people.  The university has been cooperating with the Remand Centre in Lublin since 2013. Currently, there are thirty students.
