This article is devoted to the new trends in the modern educational process aimed at the formation of the most important skills of schoolchildren today – independence. Such trends are explained by the importance of training highly qualified specialists. High school students who have fully mastered the skills of independence are more successful in their future professional activity. Thus, the educational institutions that emphasise the development of independence in schoolchildren, fulfill the social order of the state training future specialists, which is necessary for the active development of society and the success of the country on the world stage. In addition, the modern learning process involves the active use of the information technologies. Today a teacher not only teaches children using textbooks, but also introduces them to the world of information and communication technologies (ICT), teaches them how to work with computers, which is also extremely important for their future professional activity. Nowadays, it is important for the general education school graduates to possess the relevant skills and abilities that will make them competitive in the modern society. Thus, at school, teachers develop students' independence, and at the same time children learn self-organisation and reflection, as well as self-control. Thanks to such work, future graduates master the necessary skills of working with a personal computer, fully know how to create presentations, as well as make personal projects of various formats.
