Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of the article is to characterize one of the forms concerning conflict management, i.e. overcoming the conflict, which appeared in the context of the schools liquidation in rural areas. The presented analyzes are based on the results of empirical research conducted among stakeholders of local educational policy in Poland from 2016 to 2018. The author focused primarily on the actions of local authorities \(mayors\) to overcome the social conflict arising from the planned liquidation of local schools. These activities concerned teachers who were the inspirers and leaders of the local conflict in the examined rural municipalities. The measures applied to teachers did not resolve the conflict \(nor eliminated its causes\) and appeared to be irrational from the economic point of view. Nevertheless, they helped to overcome the conflict and limit its negative consequences. The theoretical framework of the article is defined by the concept of social conflict developed by L.A. Coser and selected theoretical approaches towards conflict management."]
