In this paper, we raise the question about the position of education in contemporary society, and we try to give an answer to it. We focus on two words: power and education, and we reflect the connection of these two terms from different points of view. At first we contemplate about the different types of power which can be found at school, second we consider the power of education, and third we seek the ways of making education even more powerful. It is a reflection on the potential of education as well as its limits. We also focus on aims which education has to fulfil.

Keywords: school education, power, development, aims
