The purpose of this paper is to determine the place and role of higher teacher education, teacher of high school in the context of commercialization of knowledge and modern social and economic transformations that are currently changing the psychology of people, society, shifting the individual and collective consciousness and spiritual and moral values toward commercialization relations. Analyzing the work of many scientists, using an interdisciplinary approach, it was found that the influence of the liberal transformation in the educational sphere, in particular pedagogical universities in the scientific literature is not enough. As a result, studies have highlighted the problem of spiritual and moral plan, which cuts across all spheres of modern society; the role of the teacher of higher teaching school as a repeater of scientific knowledge, ideology and values in the context of the paradigm of the gift or giving gifts was revealed; defines the mission of pedagogical universities – the formation of teachers, responsible, systematic in their thinking and knowledge, not only in the certain knowledge, but also capable of conveying correctly and scientifically verified to those of the younger generation system of socio-economic changes that accompany the social environment, promote the scientific outlook with accentuation on the moral and spiritual intelligence, which in a certain way denies the commercialization and commodification of thought and values; a sociological survey of students was conducted with a goal to, firstly, understand their vision of value constructs the carriers of which must be high school teachers, and, secondly, their relation to the commercialization of higher education. The prospect of further research should be to find answers to fundamental economic questions – what to produce?, how to produce? for whom to produce?, e. i. determining precise contours of the financial presence of the state in the production and provision of educational services by pedagogical universities.
