The purpose of the article was to highlight the paradigm of holistic education in several dimensions: professional and educational, which involves coordination within the educational system (pedagogical, organisational, methodological, educational aspects); socio-educational, when education is positioned in a single context of content and format with other areas of socio-cultural activity; educational and human dimension, which ensures the formation of personal versatile general and vocational training. The aims of the article determined the relevance of unifying the principles of the educational system regardless of regional, national, and cultural specifics. The creation of a holistic education implies the supremacy of the purpose of education in the rapid civilizational development: preservation of traditional educational meanings and improvement of innovative forms of educational space. Methodology. In the research a number of general scientific methods was used: the analytical method provided a conceptual understanding of the integrity of education; the comparative method identified common and distinctive features of the educational process at different levels of transmission and perception; the modelling method defined strategies for educational development in terms of correlation of various educational components in a single paradigm. Along with scientific methods, philosophical and synergistic methods were actively used, thanks to them the study was conducted using interdisciplinary and self-organising elements. The results of the study showed the demand for holistic education among the educational community. The internal educational system is ready for a holistic model of the educational process at all levels, which is facilitated by the active use of innovative formats of educational activity that ensure the continuity and sustainability of education. There is also a virtually unanimous position among the subjects of the educational process on the need to unify educational standards in order to improve the quality characteristics of educational levels. Prospects for the study are proposals for the development of agreed (not identical in form, but conceptually common) principles of educational development at the local and global levels. Conclusion. Thus, education, being an integral part of civilizational progress, forms strategies for its development in the context of integration, multicultural, and pluralistic value processes of today. The human dimension of the educational process involves actualising the formation of the universality of knowledge, skills, and abilities that a person acquires through an educational experience.
