In the article it is shown that education naturally includes the upbringing component depending on the purposes, as the comprehension of the results whose attainment the actions are directed to, as the meanings and ideals of life activity of the society and people. However, values vary in the space of culture and historical time, being divided into conventional (with the social-cultural basis) and transcendental ones (with the profound internal basis of formation of the attitude of people towards life and the world around). In the article it is underlined that the social qualities of the person bear in themselves a combination of axiological (the value-related) and functional qualities (I.Q., features of thinking, speech, temperament, character, the inborn skills, the acquired knowledge and skills, health and somatic form), that is, all the cognitive, sensual and physical forces of the individual. The presence of universal meanings, opened to the process of comprehension and reconsideration of their content, promotes mutual understanding and coordination of efforts in achieving the common goals, while improving the modern process of training and upbringing.
