EDUCATIONAL POLICIES PRIORITIES IN THE FRAME OF SOCIOCULTURAL GLOBALIZATION

The article raises the issue of cultural globalization within the framework of global information society. Now it is evident that the process of global society creation is justified and imminent so every nation is involved in the process to some extent. The fast-changing market terms have naturally affected the pace of political-economic and social development of various communities. Though at first the focus was on economic and political globalization now the issue of cultural globalization is gaining importance. Comparing different forecasts of possible aftermath of single global culture formation, the author stresses that the impact of means of communication on accelerating the pace of cultural interaction has been underestimated.

The article also highlights a range of factors accounting for westernization of global culture at the turn of the millennium. However, over time it becomes obvious that globalization contributes to regionalization development, which being implemented in political and economic spheres, makes great implications on social and cultural institutions. Regionalization prevents further western culture dominance and westernization stops being the only possible variant of cultural globalization development. Education as a social institute is one of the key factors greatly influencing society development and it is also influenced by globalization processes. Reforms in the sphere of national educational systems are aimed at unification , standardization and finally integration. Although internationalization of education means maintaining and developing national system of education, in fact it is just the first stage of education globalization, which implies elimination of national systems of education for the sake of creating single global educational system. Thus, education globalization triggers stand-off between political-economic and social-cultural aspects of education.
