Abstract
Globalization is a multifactorial process in the modern world, which is characterized by transformation of all the social relations, including in the field of education. In recent years, the process of globalization has been actively studied by the scientists from the West and the East. It is suggested that there is taking place the rapprochement of the Eastern and Western educational systems, a paradigm shift, when the technocratic principle of training is replaced by the humanitarian one. With the globally increasing Westernization, both the East and the West should try to preserve their distinctive national education systems without rejecting the idea of borrowing the foreign experience. But this experience should be used not in an eclectic manner, but it should be organically included in the context of education.
