Education involves the formation of not only professional skills, but also personal, human qualities, general cultural knowledge and skills. In the modern technogenic society, whose main driver is technology, the processes occurring in all social spheres are determined by the logic and dynamics of a technical nature. Hence follows a specific request for education, which is expressed in the need to «produce» such a person who will perform functions in the logic of the technical. However, the sphere of the human is not limited to the technical aspect. The vector of sociocultural dynamics, which today depends on technology, is focused on the person and his/her needs. However, it turns out that the requirements of the environment, which was created by humans and for humans, reorient him/her to «improperly human» qualities, which should give him/her social advantages. Thus, we should talk about returning a proper human, humanitarian aspect to education. It is exactly the challenge, because the environment itself is, at least for the moment, not ready for that and requires the person to be a function of the technical.
