The integration and development of the global information space, including the information-educational space, require students to become equal members of modern society. Such an educational system demands the intensification of activities in this direction by all participants. One of the key pedagogical tasks is to enhance their competencies in the field of ICT to ensure the high-quality training of future specialists at the level of the information society's requirements. Naturally, the solution to this problem must begin during the university education process. The education strategy touches upon many important issues, including the informatization of the educational system: The document highlights the improvement of the pupil-to-computer ratio in secondary education and the enhancement of schools' internet connectivity year by year. This creates new opportunities for the use of modern ICT tools in education. The level of professional competence in the field of ICT among students and teaching staff is determined by the overall efficiency of the informatization process in education. At the same time, the effectiveness of the informatization process in education also depends on the participants' level of ICT competence. The interaction between these two factors requires a comprehensive solution to the issue. In today’s world, every person’s life is closely intertwined with ICT, regardless of their age or profession. ICT has become a crucial tool for pupils, students and teachers. Without basic computer skills and competence, it is challenging for anyone to achieve substantial success in modern life. ICT is now actively used in many fields. There are also great prospects for the use of ICT in the education sector. ICT competence refers to the practical application of technologies that enable access to, search for, retrieval, processing, and transmission of information. This competence is essential for quality living and successful professional activity in the modern information society. The most suitable subject for developing future teachers' ICT competencies is computer science. It is important to differentiate between the concepts of ICT literacy and ICT competence for teachers. ICT literacy refers to general skills such as working independently with software products, using a computer, and efficiently navigating the internet. ICT competence, on the other hand, not only involves managing information but also the practical use of specific information tools and integrating them into the educational process. This also includes addressing informational and communicative tasks during the current stage of development and in practical activities. As is widely recognized, ICT competence is one of the essential skills in the modern teaching profession. The use of ICT improves the quality of subject instruction, makes the learning process more personalized, and increases its overall efficiency. Through teachers' ICT skills, students not only better grasp the material being taught, but their interest in the lessons also grows. Teachers' professional development is continuously enhanced in line with the demands and needs of the information society. Teachers master essential ICT skills to advance their own professionalism and build their ICT competence. This dynamic requires the ongoing refinement of the pedagogical process, driven by the continuous modernization of ICT. In organizing education today, the features, demands, and needs of the information society must be carefully considered
