Pro-family education in relation to contemporary social changes

Abstract

In times of rapid social, civilizational and cultural changes, education is facing new challenges. It seems that particularly important tasks refer to the idea of pro-family education which is, from the point of view of pedagogical theory and practice, a significant domain of pedagogical work. The paper presents the opinions of people entering adulthood on pro-family education realised at school and makes an attempt to determine the needs and expectations in that regard. The reflections are based on the conviction that pro-family education in a new dimension should meet the task of preparing youth for a mature relationship with another person and for responsible parenthood which creates a chance to build a satisfying life space and achieve individual happiness.
