The contemporary scene of Polish social life is the field of occurring dynamic processes of change. In spite of the fact that the origins of a lot of them starts in the event of collapsing of the communist system it is just not enough to analise this reality by the prism of this occurrence but there is a lot of conditions, which indicate the need of engaging the more differentiated terms and conceptions, characteristic for the reality of societies of the perpetual, dynamic changes. Between different situations included in the changing processes important field belongs to the educational sphere. It is possible to indicate there the challenges required by the specific socio-cultural conditions which influence the adaptative strategies of educational sphere and paralelly influencing by this field the trajectories of development of the all spheres (macro-, meso- and microsphere) of society. Following paper establishes a trial of the synthesis of two mentioned above problems: contemporary theories of social change and the position of educational sphere analysed in this context.
