The paper reveals the necessity to take into account modern social existence and its peculiarities when analyzing specifics of socio-philosophic consideration of education axiological aspects as a factor of society adaptation to sustainable development. One of the peculiarities mentioned above is the fact that the world educational system solves the new global problem related to adaptation of people to life and activity in the new information world. Almost all the researchers admit the fact that society in future is society possessing such main development criteria as information and knowledge. Each new stage of society development enforces educational priorities and makes them complicated; it takes less time for their implementation as well. It leads to admitting the fact that crisis of world education assumes its not being in time with the tasks and imperative of people survival. However with each new stage of social development formation of educational priorities becomes complicated and time for their realization is reduced therefore crisis of world education consists that it “doesn't keep up” with problems of an imperative of survival of mankind. Axiologization of world educational space requires transfer from “backward” education, which corresponds the model of not sustainable development of the civilization, to advance education which meets the goals of sustainable development and includes the principles of sustainable development. The research is carried out in division of two theoretical systems (metaphysical and dialectic ones) as crises are caused by fundamental following metaphysical system (the western one). Knowledge and values of industrial and consumer society contribute to global anthropological and environmental disaster. New models and mechanisms of mankind development are required in order to prevent anthropological disaster. The author considers axiologization of world educational space as the most important mean of adaptation and human survival in the world which can make our development safe and sustainable. It is socio-cultural and educational mechanisms of survival which should force out the wide-spread technocratic mechanism.
