Journal Title: International Journal of Pedagogy, Innovation and New Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The article describes the school as an institution, a social system and a learning organization. Regardless of whether we analyze school as an institution, a system, an organization, an arrangement, most important are the functions it performs. Taking into account the tasks it has to perform it is possible to distinguish its basic, regulatory and auxiliary functions. In the scientific literature and in practice, the primary school functions include education, upbringing and care. School is considered a very important element of the social system. It influences all young people and performs specific functions. It is understood as one of the basic elements of society, being an important component of the community, and the life activity of children and youth. School is an institution that enters into everyone's life. It is a social institution shaping values, attitudes and life orientations. The school as a learning organization is one of the visions of schools of the future.
