Meanwhile, not only the educational tools used (for example, replacing printed textbooks with electronic copies), but also the concept of building an educational system are subject to change. The purpose of this article is to determine the necessary directions of transformation of the Russian education system in the context of global digitalization. In their research, the authors analyze the situation ofRussiain the global digital space, as well as the main global trends in the digitalization of education. The information base of the research are legislative and other legal acts of the Russian Federation, data of international rating and analytical agencies, materials of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as well as data of statistical observations. Based on the assessment of the current state of the Russian educational system and its comparison with global trends, the key directions of the necessary changes have been revealed. In particular, the need for the rapid development of digital infrastructure of educational institutions, training of teachers with modern digital competencies, updating of specialties and areas of training, taking into account trends in the labor market, the formation of educational programs, based on flexible educational trajectories, the development of the concept of continuing education, as well as the introduction of artificial intelligence systems into the educational environment has been shown. During conducting of the research, the authors noted the lack of data necessary for in depth analysis of each of the selected areas. In future, each area should be the subject of independent research, in order to concretize its goals, identify priorities, as well as the formation of a road map for the implementation of measures. The article will be useful to the heads of educational organizations, as well as to all who are engaged in research of modern trends in the market of educational services.
