description Due to its comprehensiveness and extreme complexity, the phenomenon of creativity has always attracted the attention of researchers, but only with the rapid development of science, technique, and technology, more intensive studies of this phenomenon began in the early 1990s. The importance of creativity is pointed out by numerous theorists, emphasizing the importance of this phenomenon on an individual, social and global level. Creativity plays a major role in creating individual meaningful works that contribute to wider social progress. The rapid progress of science and technology requires new and unusual reactions, and consequently, modern society is looking for young inspiring, talented, inspired, creative and innovative people who will be able to respond to the challenges they face every day. Education plays a key role in preparing them for life in modern society, but critics of modern education question the role of the school in encouraging and developing creativity. On the one hand, the school is an institution that cultivates creativity and creative activities, but on the other hand, as many say, the school kills and suffocates everything that young people would have and could show. This paper discusses the concept of creativity, as well as the role of education, school, and teachers in encouraging and awakening creativity in young people. The analysis of relevant and recent pedagogical literature seeks to answer the question of whether and in what way the school is limiting the development of creativity, what are the obstacles and blockers of creativity in school, and how to eliminate them.
