The issue of distance learning of general secondary education institutions (GSEI) students provided during the pandemic is considered in the article. Despite the recommendations of UNESCO, distance learning in domestic general secondary education institutions was implemented as a teacher-student interaction done by means of the Internet technology in order to fulfill the curricula. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced domestic educators to choose simple tools to support the educational process. The existence of a significant number of digital tools for
the students distance learning organization did not contribute to the rapid and effective transition of GSEI to the uninterrupted learning during the pandemic. A lack of teacher competence in digital technologies as well as lack of digital educational content was seen which prevented the teachers both from providing the smooth curricula implementation and meeting the educational
needs of students who actively use mobile phones, home tablets, laptops, etc. International statistical data on the activities of educational institutions during quarantine, as well as the
state of Internet resources use by domestic teachers were analyzed, the activities of the heads of GSEI to ensure continuity of learning, two models of distance learning «Webinar» and «Virtual Classroom» were substantiated, the system of services for two models of distance learning implementation was described, both for laboratory and practical work, as well as for generalization, communication and discussion; four steps to the distance learning introduction in the system of GSEI were proposed. The article establishes the idea that the improvement
of the educational process is carried out in the following areas: educational environment development, innovative teaching aids use, new learning technologies introduction, and organizational learning forms improvement.
