     Nowadays the problem concerning forming and realization of sustainable development conception in Ukraine 
is increasing. So, the matter is qualitative improvement of ecological education. The ecological situation that sets in 
Ukraine is characterized as crisis. The struggle for consequences of negative anthropogenous influence is not actual. 
The main accent displaces to the side of disaster prevention, that is work concerning perspectives: forecasting and 
modeling of their possible occurrence. 
     Among the main tasks we should point out the creation of systematic ecological education and public 
informing about the environment, the influence on it from the side of different subjects and methods of their 
improvement in. 
Nowadays ecology is a discipline that unites humanitarian and natural sciences and helps to form the general 
model of relations between nature, society and from another side it defines the sense and development perspectives for 
all humanity. 
     The system of general complex and continuous ecological education must be established with the goal of 
ecological culture increasing. Among the main ideas of ecological education are: 
 the forming of outlook on the base of modern ecological situation; 
 the understanding of nature value varieties; 
 the understanding of ecological interrelations which refuse the alive systems internity as the process of 
substance, energy and information exchange; 
 the transition from anthropocentric natural resources learning to ecocentric and polycentric approaches; 
 the understanding of ecological crisis as a cultural crisis; 
 the realizing of moral choice concerning the methods of expedient activity with ecological and moral 
imperatives. 
     Among the disadvantages of the existing ecological educational system are the following: the nature is 
considered as energetic and resource source of production and its value is determined as economic. The ecological 
aspect of nature’s understanding as the place of human’s living was on the backstage of ecological education. The main 
criteria of it was rational natural management. Despite all these disadvantages it was a great step forward from the 
general ecological illiteracy. The gradual degradation of all natural life-support systems, increasing of ecological 
disasters pay a great attention on the world’s society and Ukraine is not an exception.  
     The analysis of the perspectives state’s development and the best modern works in a branch of ecological 
education allowed to make a conclusion about the necessity of basing on works of Ukrainian specialists concerning 
“The Project Conception of the ecological education in Ukraine”. Ukrainian specialists admit that forms and methods of 
our traditional educational system including ecological education have a lot of advantages in comparison with foreign 
system. 
Also Ukraine has a lot of qualified scientists who are able to create and introduce effective conception of 
ecological education in coordination with our traditions, mentality, the regions’ specificity and the state’s interests in 
the 21 century. 
     The main conceptual point of ecological education is based on logical and gradual saturation of programmes 
in different education levels including High school.  
For the educational process ecologization it is necessary to keep three main principles: the continuous ecological
