In the modern conditions of the knowledge economy, when professional knowledge becomes obsolete quickly, the increased attention of the state to the sphere of education is noted. Accordingly, it is necessary to revise the approaches to the management of education sphere in the long term. The prerequisites for education sphere reformation in Russia were the transformational processes of the social reorganization of the Russian state. An effective organization of the education system in modern conditions is the basis for an economic growth achievement. Therefore, it is necessary to apply new principles for the training of professional personnel, taking into account the needs of the emerging innovative market economy. The sphere of education as one of the most important aspects of society life is in the joint responsibility of the federation and its subjects. At the federal level, they determine the vector and the main priorities for the development of the state educational system, at the regional level they develop the main ideas of federal policy taking into account regional peculiarities, needs and opportunities. The standard of living and well-being of Russian society, its general economic and social development, the level and the pace of scientific and technical achievements are determined by the level and the quality of the state educational system operation. Besides, the structure and the content of the education system itself, its competitiveness in the world arena, the compliance with international quality standards and requirements, determine the level of innovative development of the country economy, the intensification of economic development, a favorable social atmosphere and the national security at the international, national and regional levels.

Determining the path of socio-economic development in the context of total progress requires a comprehensive analysis of the features of the development of Russian regions, taking into account political, economic, social, environmental and other priorities and goals of sustainable development. The role of methodological support for the formation and implementation of the strategic development of the region as a socio-economic system is growing. Partially, such methodological support has been formed, however, problems and disproportions in the field of managing regional strategic development remain. The program of social and economic development of the North Caucasus, which has been implemented in recent years, has not brought tangible results. One of the most important problems is recognized as the problem of the quality of planning the socio-economic development of the territory, which does not provide the goal of overcoming the chronic backlog of the economy and the social sphere. According to the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, the estimates obtained indicate problems in organizing the activities of development institutions. The current mechanism of strategic planning for the socio-economic development of the North Caucasus Federal District as a priority geostrategic macro-region of Russia requires a revision of the fundamental aspects of the development and implementation of documents and emerging institutions, the demand for special mechanisms of state support.

The article presents various approaches to the transformation of the modern education system in the world in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
