Today, many talk about Global Educational Crisis, loss of human values and spiritual decline. Why is the global education system falling apart? And why all these reforms adopted in this sphere are ineffective? The authors of this article studying the history of pedagogics and education in many countries of the world, have concluded that the idea of education changed itself together with its objectives and values. In general, the education system has passed through several stages of evolution - from the dominant of upbringing, then teaching, to the complete oblivion of education, its transformation into a simulacrum. The modern education system, in the absence of content, simulates itself, it is not able to create a new human being, to give him/her value orientation, to educate him/her. However, it is not necessary. The main goal of modern education is the transformation of homo sapiens into homo consuming, into an element of consumer information culture. What is the reason for this situation and how to stop this process - this will be discussed in this article.
