The aim of this paper is to examine whether the reform of the curriculum introduced in 1999 altered the extent and manner of presenting some selected geography topics, especially the problem of cultural diversity in Poland. On the basis of official documents on education and selected geography textbooks existing before and after 1999, the author sought to assess whether there have been any changes (both quantitative and qualitative) in the content and in the way they are presented in textbooks. The comparison has shown that the curriculum reform has not led to significant changes in school curricula, as regards the scope of the content. The analysis of textbooks has confirmed the hypothesis that the selection and scope of the content depends largely on the subjective assessment of its importance in geography teaching done by the author(s). Some authors consider these issues as important and worthy of wider discussion, while others only indicate or even ignore them, which in turn results in a great diversity of school textbooks.
