The main emphasis in considering the changing conditions for the implementation of educational activities is associated with the study of the development processes of the information society. The theoretical premise of the study is the idea of changing the functional balance of the educational sphere, associated with the need for its conformity with modern social challenges. In particular, the article analyzes the relationship between education and training in educational activities.

The essence of this discrepancy is that the achievements of science and culture with a significant delay become the property of educational activity, and the structure of higher educational institutions often does not meet the need for training specialists in a number of innovative areas. On this background, specialized courses and various network resources, focused on filling the “gaps” of the centralized education system, are becoming relevant. At the end of the article, a conclusion is drawn regarding the main trends in the transformation of education in modern society.
