We live in a world where children are introduced to the social hierarchy from birth. As educators, we often face dilemmas when it comes to children's freedom, how to react in certain situations and how it will affect children's development. This work sees anarchy as a theme in the philosophy of education, questions the authority of authority and provides possible solutions to the questions asked. The work argues in detail that there is actually too little anarchy in the educational system these days. In fact, in educational institutions, a large role also plays a hidden curriculum in addition to the official curriculum by which we educate children to remain part of the system in which they were born and to pass on the values of the same to future generations. It creates a vicious circle from which society finds it difficult to find a way out. The purpose of education is also analysed and the question of whether educational institutions serve solely for the purpose of achieving certain social goals is also being tried. In doing so, the modern education system is compared to that criticised by Ivan Illich in the 1970s. Since anarchy is often accompanied by words such as "chaos", it is also the task of working to reduce society's prejudices towards anarchy and to discuss different views on education. The conclusion of this work is that the purpose of education should not be exclusively related to certain social goals (economic and political progress), but education should primarily serve to develop the potential of each individual and allow each child to recognise his or her own potential and develop into an individual who is free, independent and able to think critically (as advocated by philosophers such as Illich), which would then result in social development.
