The article deals with problems posed by the organization of education in rural areas at the time of transformations taking place in Poland. The starting point for considerations is the question about the presences of advantages of scale in the universal system of education and about the relations between school and the village community, parents in particular. The authors are trying to prove that the liquidation of rural schools that have a small number of pupils should not be considered exclusively from the point of view of a temporary reduction in the budget expenditures of a commune. School constitutes the social centre of village life and its liquidation produces in the long run negative effects for the local community. They also draw attention to the fact that an increase in the number of pupils attending the same school impacts negatively on the quality of instruction and upbringing. Their aim is to present an alternative solution which envisages the formation of the so-called Small Schools. These are institutions formed by associations of the residents of villages to replace the liquidated schools that were financed by the local authorities. The authors present the characteristic features of such Small Schools and data attesting to the fact that the cost of financing them can be low and that they ensure a higher quality of education. Additionally, the formation of such schools is a factor stimulating the activity of local community and the development of the social capital of villages. They describe barriers to the formation of Small Schools in Poland and chances that they create for a multi-directional development of rural areas.
