They are based on British experience and have the aim to improve the system of organization of pedagogical process in Ukrainian secondary schools. The experience of British workers regarding the organization of educational process in schools, and by comparing the main parameters of educational process in the schools of Great Britain and Ukraine made it possible to identify common and distinctive features.
