The introduction of digitalization in the educational space causes anambiguous reaction. Some consider it a tool for solving the problems accumulated in school, while others openly define it as a factor in the school dehumanization. In order to understand what digitalization brings to the schools, you need to know the goal of implementing it. The author believes that in the broadest sense school and society form a single whole. In connection with the rapid update of technologies in the production and non-production spheres, there is a need to add managerial relations in the labor sphere with pedagogical ones. Complicated out-of-school conditions for younger generationeducation force the school itself to work more closely in synergy with society, and for this a democratic public schoolmust exist. A school that uses the “digitalization of the educational space” tool will have to implement the function of connecting with the past, determining its place in the present and future. Consequently, the school also performs the function of spiritual confrontation in hybrid wars. Skilful use of the “digitalization of the educational space” will create conditions in which the school can be useful for production and vice versa. The role of school in interaction with society is increasing due to the transformation of the cognition process into the main type of human activity. The tool of digitalization should be used in the environmental education and the entire society, since ecology currently includes all the pressing problems of humanity.
