They enable orientation in the reality, choice and assessment of actions and mutual communication. Values, criteria and their choice as well as problem of personal ideal of a human being are the most important issues concerning education and upbringing. Education is to help in adapting to a specific social reality, assists in accepting required social attitudes, but at the same time it should encourage to shape one's own future actively and create new standards. Its objective is to shape and promote general values: truth, good and beauty. Upbringing and teaching should not be considered without looking at the problem of the upbringing goal, so they do not exist without judging and values. Values are a significant element of upbringing and education process. Education value systems were created through ages. Each period had its own “education ideal” which developed and was specified, which was defended and realized within education practice. The article shows how the canon of educational values changed over the centuries in Poland.
