Education cannot be reduced to simple transfer and mastering of facts, skills and algorithms of solution of tasks; it represents an integral, very sophisticated process of formation of a complete system of knowledge. Education in humanities plays in it an important role. Unfortunately, today the tendency of elimination of education in humanities is widespread. At that, the role of simplified tests and standards is absolutized. Therefore, today it is very important to consider at a new level the value of education in humanities for the formation of high quality experts. Education in humanities promotes formation of creative potential, develops abilities of generalization, substantiation, argumentation, forecasting, as well as synthetic thinking. A holistic picture of the world and scientific-philosophical worldview can be created on the basis of education in humanities.
