Summary/Abstract: Two main political movements in interwar Poland were the National Democracy and the Sanation. Their representatives developed their own educational teleology, in which they ascribed an important role to the family, seeing it as the primary environment for child development. They endeavored to influence the educational functioning of the family, and, therefore, pursued projects to pedagogize the family, including the establishment of parent organizations that offered parents lectures, courses, and seminars, and published magazines on family issues. This text takes a closer look at the activities of a nationwide organization that sympathized with National Democracy – the Union of Parents’ Associations – which sought, among others, a strong fusion of family and school, to effectively carry out the educational tasks assigned to them. Using selected periodicals from the interwar period, the article also outlines the difficulties of family-school cooperation and their causes.
