There has been substantiated that humanistic and Gnostic values, values of social relationships, values, civic education, values and ideals of education in an open model of education, values of family education, health saving value should become some kind of </em><em>benchmarks</em><em> for the global educational policy. <strong>Discussion</strong></em><strong><em>:</em></strong><em> </em><em>The article is an attempt to define the basic values which a global educational policy is supposed to build on.</em><em> </em><em>The author elucidated the essential meaning of notions </em><em>«</em><em>value</em><em>»</em><em> and </em><em>«</em><em>ideal</em><em>»</em><em> in projections of development of a global educational policy.</em><em> </em><em>Significant attention is given the substantiation of values of global education policy, such as humanistic and Gnostic values, values of social relationships, values of civic education, values and ideals of education in an open model of education, values, family education, </em><em>health saving</em><em> value.</em></p>
