It examines the current state of the digital infrastructure of the education system, the level of training of teaching staff, and the specifics of using digital platforms and educational content. The main advantages, challenges and shortcomings of digital transformation are identified, and the social consequences and problems of accessibility to education are analysed. Particular attention is paid to the international experience of EU countries in the field of digitalisation of education, as well as the possibilities for adapting best practices to the Ukrainian context.

Based on statistical data, official reports and research, conclusions were made regarding the prospects for the further development of digital education in Ukraine. State and international initiatives were analysed, and issues of digital inequality, staffing, content quality and security were examined. Particular attention was paid to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war on the digital infrastructure of education and prospects for development.
