Summary/Abstract: Family and school are important spaces influencing the acquisition of competences in time management by students. Each of these spaces occupy a particular position in the process of youth development. The family teaches planning and time management. Teachers’ work should continue to foster skills in a secondary development context. The compatibility of these environments is a prerequisite for effective time budget planning by the young people. Considering the role of time in the life of an individual, the aim of the research was to know what is the time budget of students and how the space of the family and school environment is conducive to its development. In order to collect the empirical data, charts were used in which 97 tested pupils from secondary schools were asked to show the amount of time devoted during the day and week to various activities. Other aspects of time management by the young people as well as the participation of family and school as significant places in which young people reside were determined based on a questionnaire survey. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that staying at school and doing homework dominates, which can be explained by the fact that education is the basic form of youth activity. However, the time devoted to it significantly limits free time, which does not always allow for sufficient rest. It was noticed that the way of spending time with parents is passive, while teachers to a small extent compensate for unfavorable patterns of time management shaped in the family.
