This aspect is of particular importance for providing sustainability of the development of individual societies. The author examines the features of the interaction of various educational systems in the process of building a global society. Methodology and methods of research. The study of the features of social universalism in modern education involves a systematic approach. The tasks that are of a systematic nature include the following procedures of solution: planning, design, evaluation. The article also uses the general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, ascent from the abstract to the concrete. In addition, the principles of universal communication, historicism, contradiction, development, relativity, autonomy, dynamic balance have an important methodological significance in the study.
