Summary/Abstract: Into the system of general school education also belongs extracting a large-scale organic and control device the power and influence of which, said in Orwell’s tongue, will and has to expand so long that it will cover the whole area of culture and include all forms of educational institutions, from kindergarten up to universities (in this sense the school system already lives in the frequently mentioned phenomenon of globalisation with all of its positives and negatives). Modern development to the general education thus forces the state to become a competitor and alternative to Church, which is as well as the state a universal institution and which is interested in human intellect as well as in formation of his character by faith. Thus indirectly it leads to tension between these institutions unknown in Middle Ages but fully present in modern times. The article wants to be a reaction to this situation and wants to point out to other options and directions of Christian education at present times.
