Abstract
Socio–economic processes have accelerated in the information society, technological cycles are not 20–30 years, as before, but 3–5, which radically changes the tasks of professional training of personnel of all levels and specialties. The problem of environmental education has now gone beyond national boundaries and acquired international importance. Domestic pedagogy should more actively introduce scientific developments and achievements into educational practice, in particular, through new special courses, technologies for the formation of ecological thinking, consciousness, and culture of university students, using modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. The intellectual potential of a country determines its place and role in the international arena. Today, the cost of this product in the economic exchange of developed countries is close to the value of the mass of commodities, therefore, domestic education should become a priority, widespread field of activity in the state, and environmental education – the most prestigious, most powerful basis for active and vital research in various areas: social , technical, medical, pedagogical, economic. Practical and theoretical contributions to the world education and science system can raise the level of national environmental and educational achievements to a prominent place in the world.
