The differences between the education of the XXI century and the education of the XX century and their causes are presented. An attempt is made to study possibilities of improving the digital literacy of a teacher. The solution of pedagogical problems by means of the digital environment is proposed. The authors conclude that the ongoing changes in modern Russian society require further development of the education system to meet the needs of society and the state in the training of professionals of the new generation. The previous stages are aimed primarily at transferring the national education system to a competency-based approach, however, at present there is an urgent need to create conditions for a new stage in the development of the Russian education system in the context of digitalization of the educational environment.
