The article analyzes the current state of education, as it is being transformed in the context of globalization. The global education system today is actively implemented and promoted by various powerful Western corporations and political structures. In Russia, the methodological tool, in which there is constantly declared a «roadmap» of change of our education system, is the annually updated «Foresight of Education 2030 (2035)», created with the participation of the Agency of Strategic Initiatives, the Higher School of Economics and Skolkovo. The feature of foresight-designing of Russian education is to bring all aspects of the construction of the educational system of Russia to Anglo-Saxon standards based on the thesis of the growth of competition in the context of globalization. In the context of globalization processes, foresight is interesting primarily as an instrument of global control, because, in the conditions of rising uncertainties, foresight in some sense provides an opportunity for a more stable game in the increasingly unstable world. It allows minimizing expenses, provides strategic mobilization of intellectual potential for the development of priorities, strategies and strategic mobilization of resources for their implementation. On October 13, 2014 in Moscow, there took place official opening of the «Global Future of Education» foresight. The task of the foresight of education, which will continue for the entire 2015 and will take place around the world, is to identify the main trends of modern education and develop practical recommendations for the period of up to 20 years. The content of the program of the "Education 2030" foresight can be reduced to three central ideas: distinguishing in the educational sample of absolute intellectual elite and the absolute intellectual «mob»; imperative requirement of separation of the high-tech services of education, for example, MEP (Massive Open Online Course) from the public education which undergoes reduction in favor of non-systemic education and training; transformation of the domestic education, turning it into educational market as the main goal and objective. The most important feature of foresight as a process of influence of the information globalization on the domestic education is the constant pressure of dismantling the state character of the educational system in general and schools in particular.
