The article presents the cybernetic approach and justifications of the same kind for highlighting flaws in the functioning of today’s, still unchanged, mass school, proffered by Marian Mazur, the founder of the Polish school of cybernetics. This author analyses all the important dimensions of school functioning – from the content, through methodology to its organisation – pointing to the rationality of an optimising cybernetic approach to education, which is perfectly consistent with the common sense feeling about the weakness of schools. Although Mazur’s analyses date back to the 1960s, they seem to be applicable today not only to our country, but also to the entire world.
