Summary/Abstract: The article refers to a threefold concept: family – school – social institutions (as presented by Professor Andrzej M. de Tchorzewski). The basic considerations relate, for example, to utopia and different ways of understanding of this concept, as well as the utopian nature of the concept of triunity itself. This concept collides with many phenomena and processes that cause the deconstruction or reconstruction of its individual components (families, schools, social institutions). In addition, contemporary societies are faced – with greater or lesser success – with serious problems that also concern education and upbringing, and thus also the aforementioned triunity. Education – which is also involved in this triunity – is located between a utopia and real world. Against this background, questions and answers are formulated, something which should be done in order to make more a people-friendly world (simplifying – more utopian). It is also an invitation for reflection on what must be considered as priorities in the educational process.
