The purpose of the research is to establish a pattern for promoting the implementation of online education for students’ learning. The research methods are as follows: comparative analysis; regression analysis; systematization, generalization. As a result of regression analysis, it has been established that the value of the determination coefficient indicates that the regression model by 60% explains the dependence of online education in 30 countries between the results of students’ access to computers and the cost of education. It has been determined that a favorable climate for online education is formed in Denmark, Austria, Norway, Switzerland and Luxembourg. As a result of a students’ survey, it has been revealed that online education is better than traditional education (39%). However, some respondents believe that online education is inferior to university education (21%), and respondents said they would recommend online education. It has been found that obstacles in online education require immediate solutions, namely: ensuring uninterrupted Internet connection, reducing the process of social isolation, using video conferencing; it also requires the implementation of measures to ensure high-quality online education in educational institutions.
