The modern development of the information society has actualized transformations in the system of obtaining education, which, after the quarantine restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, have become an important trend in the development of the learning system. One of these trends has been digitalization, which in the future may change the essence of knowledge acquisition. The purpose of the article is to analyze the risks of the digitalization of education in the future, to identify ways to overcome these barriers. To write the paper and to disclose its purpose, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, method of comparativistic approach, system analysis, SWOT-analysis. Also, attention was paid to empirical methods of research. The results determined that the qualitative use of digital teaching methods requires changes in the paradigm of teaching, updating approaches to the formation of methods, active recourse to the tools of platforms Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. It was determined that the platforms are not without disadvantages in use, but their effective use contributes to digitalization. Among the difficulties are identified a lack of experience in digital learning, the inability to fully use all the tools of online platforms (usually because of paid access to many resources), the lack of stable basic access to the Internet. The conclusions recommend mechanisms to overcome difficulties in the digitalization of education, in particular the need to form national educational platforms.
