It is appropriate to introduce a special principle of "temporal study" in any field of scientific and educational activity - a principle that connects not only the past and present but also the future in one global systemic temporal whole. Thereby interrelation between temporal worlds is formed, where not only a linear relation, but nonlinear interaction of periods is
Temporal integrity implies that what we call time connects all three modes of temporal worlds (periods) - past, present and future in a single (linear or nonlinear) system. When

analysing the role and interconnection of all three temporal worlds (past, present and future) in most areas of social activity in the contemporary unsustainable development, including global processes, attention is drawn to clearly set asymmetry or inequality. This inequality is that science, education is focused on the past and present, and the future is on the periphery of our attention and interest. Of course, depending on the type of activity proportions of temporal worlds (i.e. past, present and future) are different. However, the fact that the future is not in "favor" is obvious and many activities, including scientific and educational, show neglect of the future in the current model of unsustainable socio-economic development.
As also noted above, education, anticipating many activity-related processes in the formation of man, during formation of sustainable future must be developed more rapidly in all respects (particularly in terms of financing and provision of other resources) than all other forms of social activity. In this perspective education won`t just translate from generation to generation already significantly outdated knowledge for decision-making, but will also contribute to better understanding of the need for anti-crisis actions to move to sustainable development. Only proactive innovative education of sustainable development will become an integral component of human activity on the survival of civilization and conservation of the biosphere. However, this feature of anticipatory education will be the most obvious and, so to say, lying on the surface of the process of formation of education of sustainable development. Basic and profound essence of the model of "sustainable education" still is in the emphasis on the issue of the future in the content of education of sustainable development.
It is appropriate to say a few words about the education of sustainable development and anticipatory education. It is quite obvious that they are different types and forms of innovative processes in education. Anticipatory education includes futurization and proactive mechanisms for any options of vision of the future, not just normative sustainable development.
In this sense, it can be used beyond the education of sustainable development and in any other discipline, course and field of education because this is an innovative process, which is focused on the future. In this sense a special anticipatory education such as, for example, environmental and economic types of education cannot be.
However, if there is a science of the past - history, there are sciences of the future - futurology, prognostics and other forms of study of the future, which may be included in the educational process as something temporally symmetric to traditional historical approach, significantly supplementing it and implementing the principle of temporal integrity.
Futurization of all education can be in significantly increased attention to the future in all possible subjects and fields of the educational process. If this field of futurization coincides with the introduction of sustainable development in education, then it will be "sustainable futurization" when, as stated in the UNECE Strategy, there must be "the acquisition of knowledge by teachers, allowing to include issues of sustainable development in their disciplines" [UNECE Strategy, 2005].
Conclusion
At this stage it is most important to include issues of social development to all courses and educational disciplines, what happens in EU countries and other countries. Such inclusion, as well as the formation of special areas of education of sustainable development (innovative diversification process) means that proactive education of sustainable development will be implemented. This process was significantly intensified, when in June 2012 UN Conference

on sustainable development was held in Rio de Janeiro. Many higher education institutions made commitments regarding practice of provision of sustainability according to this and subsequent Conference. ESD proved to be one of the key mechanisms for achieving the Millennium Development Goals, as well as 17 new global sustainable development goals that were adopted at the Summit on sustainable development of the 70th UN General Assembly, adopted the agenda of sustainable development up to 2030.
To some extent, the emergence of anticipatory (as noospheric) intelligence for the whole civilization will continue the process of cephalization, taking the baton from biological and social evolution, using the latest information technologies. Due to proactive collective intelligence civilizational process will be adapted to sustainable future and the natural environment, providing further secure evolution of global space system "man-society-nature." Educational process, which is still focused on the formation of individual, to some extent spreads on more extensive - supraindividual sociosystems, being included in integrative information structures of noospheric intelligence and the process of creation of sphere of mind and in perspective in creation of noospheric global space socio-ecological system. There is expected unification of learning and education as important subsystems of future noospheric intelligence into one holistic system.
