Introduction. The information revolution that unfolded in the era of globalization has further aggravated the problems of education, laying the foundation for radical changes in the educational system, in its value foundations. What is the essence of these changes? There is a variety of points of view, concerning this question, and they are reflected in the article. Globalization has the character of Americanization, strengthening the dominance of Western Europe in the educational sphere. Internationalization, as a counter-globalization opponent, is looking for effective ways of mutually beneficial international cooperation. Internationalization and globalization of education are different concepts, despite the fact that they are often used as synonyms. They are different in their essence, since both phenomena, leading to greater interdependence and interconnection of universities, have different goals and value bases. The research methodology uses general philosophical methods of world-system comparative analysis in the axiological unity of historical and modern. Discussion. The difference between internationalization and globalization of the educational sphere, their interrelation and fundamental differences are emphasized. The convergence of various types of education, including eastern and western, generates a change in national educational paradigms, the formation of a new axiosphere of the educational space. Conclusion. Internationalization of education can be a response to globalization in the aspect of a soft synthesis in national education systems of global and regional, special and individual, national and world. It is not possible to break away from global problems, but there is a certain synthesis that, based on progressive development, will create conditions for the formation of a universal educational axiosphere.
