Commission of National Education

Bishop of Vilnius, Ignacy Massalski, the first Chairman of the Commission of National Education, removed from this post in 1776 because of the, allegedly, financial misdemeanour in Lithuanian schools; subsequently he became one of the leading members of Targowica Confederation

The Commission of National Education (Polish: Komisja Edukacji Narodowej, KEN; Lithuanian: Edukacinė komisija) was the central educational authority in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, created by the Sejm and King Stanisław II August on October 14, 1773. Because of its vast authority and autonomy, it is considered the first education ministry in European history and an important achievement of the Polish Enlightenment.[1][2]
