Summary/Abstract: There is a growing gap among the regions in Poland to the disadvantage of the poorest, leading to the growth of earning income inequalities in the society. Furthermore, the existing income inequalities can also limit the income prospects for future generations. In the article, the author attempts to create a model for management of an educational institution that responds to contemporary development challenges. Research hypothesis: the change in management of an educational institution is an effective tool to minimize development disparities. Methods include both primary and secondary data and literature studies on compact studies, as well as journals and other publications, statistical analysis, inference, synthesis of the overall study. The implications for education policy are clear. An education policy focused on its own capital can be a very effective tool for increasing earnings mobility between generations and reducing income inequality in time and therefore can be as an effective tool for growth. The problem of eliminating development disparities and income inequality is a complex issue that requires the application of a wide range of solutions. Nonetheless, in the world of growing inequalities, the concentration on own educational capital can prove an effective approach to solve this problem in the long term.
