The author of the article emphasizes a high urgency of turning to the problem of humanization of education in modern conditions, because the dynamics of humanitarian changes in modern society is one of the developing global phenomena and concepts of public life. It is substantiated that humanism in a broad sense is the recognition of the value of the human being as a person. This value has a priority in relation to all other values. It is noted that humanization as the major characteristic of the concept of humanism is reflection of ideas of humanism in the society and is realized depending on the concrete historical conditions, the purposes and problems of social development on the basis of universal values. It is proved that humanization of education today becomes the moral guarantor and a basis of the society development. It is considered unquestionable that the resolving social and economic problems is impossible without a high level of development of education on the basis of the fundamental values of humanism.
