The paper systematizes and describes the leading world approaches to the use of information and computer technologies in educational institutions in the process of modernization of current educational systems in accordance with the latest requirements of the information society. It is noted that the information society gives the humanity a fundamentally new tool of life that is characterized by the possibility of operating large volumes of information without territorial and time boundaries and displays information-knowledge at the level of the leading producer of public goods. All this leads to a review of the key functions of modern education, when the possession of information and computer technology becomes the main competence requirement for the pupil, student, and every person at each stage of his/her life.The authors substantiate the necessity of creating a system of "total computer literacy" and total informatization of the national education system, wide introduction in modern educational institutions of modern models and forms of use of information and computer technologies, introduction of the national education system to the global educational space at the institutional, environmental and personal levels. It is concluded that today our state faces a difficult task of ensuring the conformity of the basic approaches, principles and instruments of the educational process to the requirements of the transition to the era of the information society in regard to the modernization of the system of national education. We have to invest in the development of domestic innovative ICT products ahead of schedule. Technology and informatization of the educational process must become priority tasks of education reforms from pre-school education institutions to higher education and research institutions, in order not to stay away from the advancement towards the global information society.
