Abstract: The text refers to the concept of simulacrum, a metaphor created by Jean Baudrillard in his work Simulacra and Simulation, in which he tries to examine the connections between reality, symbols and society, and in particular to determine the meaning and symbolism of culture and media, which are involved in constructing the understanding of common existence. Simulacra he understands as copies, which represent things that either did not have an original from the beginning or have already lost their original, source original. Simulation is an imitation of the operation of a real process or system in time. The text consists of four parts: 1. Education – terminological clarification; 2. The question of the simulation function of education; 3. The simulacrum as a heuristic tool for the analysis of education; 4. Education as a hypermarket simulacrum. The aim of the considerations is to analyze the semantic scope of the simulation function of education in the context of the question of the usefulness of the metaphor of the simulacrum as a heuristic tool for this analysis
