These include, in particular, improving the quality of education through the introduction of the latest information technologies, increasing the efficiency of communicative interaction both at the management level and between all participants in the educational process, accessibility and interactivity of learning, ensuring the distance learning process, and integrating the domestic education system into the global educational network. The main regulatory legal acts regulating the process of digitalization in the field of education are studied. It is determined that the process of digitalization of the education system involves not only the implementation and support of the functioning of digital infrastructure - information and communication technologies, global information educational networks, material and technical support of educational institutions, but also the formation of digital literacy in all participants in the educational process without exception.
