Myth-making is considered as an integral component of a person's thinking, which helps him in modeling and understanding the world picture. Myth-making is a constant phenomenon in any educational systems, which can be concluded from the presence of classical mythologized plots and archetypes in these systems. The research of the problem of the essence of the myth and the category of «myth» in separate interpretations of thinkers of the XX–XXI centuries is analyzed. The stability of the presence of myth-making processes in all cultural and social phenomena, and especially in the education system (in its generalized representation), is caused by various factors. The following are considered: the presence of mechanisms of internal and external myth-making in the thinking of each person; all sides of the educational process as carriers and creators of certain myths. The education system itself is based to a certain extent on various myths. The influence of the state on this system and its inherent traditionalism contribute to the maintenance of the mythological component in the education system. It is concluded that the presence of myths in edu-cational systems can set a creative rhetoric that ensures the preservation of the necessary traditions and behavioral models. At the same time, myths and individual mythologems may cause a destructive beginning. Therefore, all sides of the educational process must develop personal reflection, be able to critically treat mythologized attitudes in the education system, clearly understand when they are useful, and in which cases they can have a destructive character, including the era of semantic uncertainty.
