Contemporary school in the light of the dilemmas of everyday life: the face of support for self-reliance and development

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary Polish school, subjects to constant reforms, faces the difficult task of preparingstudents to function in a dynamically changing reality. Apart from tasks in the field ofeducation and care, it seems to be of key importance to fulfil the pro-employment function.The changing labour market entails a change of strategy to support students. It mustadditionally be focused on building internal relations and community and on cooperation ofthe school with various institutions of the local environment (poviat labour office, socialwelfare centre, health service, church, non-governmental organisations, etc.). On the otherhand, school cannot remain indifferent to the difficult life situations of its students. Hence,a school serving to optimise human opportunities should be at the same time a school thatminimises critical life situations and their effects through its pro-employment and supportingactivities. Such a sociopedagogical model of the functioning of contemporary school meetsthe axiological, social and educational challenges of today’s society, in which the attemptsat regulating human existence find support in careful upbringing. The article takesa sociopedagogical stand, in which strong emphasis is placed on social support for students(pro-social activity of the institution) treating concepts of altruism and recognition as crucialto new pedagogical tasks.
