The article analyzes the experiences determined by biographical circumstances that encourage individuals to choose the profession of a teacher in the pursuit of their vocation. Based on people’s biographies, it can be argued that many separate stages of human life, viewed as a whole, provide a meaningful context that can help understand the phenomenon of vocation and reveal its links to the development of professional competencies and to the efficiency of the educational system. The research usually explains the efficiency of an educational organization through pedagogical, managerial, economic and institutional aspects and defines it by qualitative characteristics that are related to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, results achieved by children, efficient use of resources, and the improvement of the teaching process. The aim of the article is to reveal a person’s vocation to become a teacher as a condition, on the one hand, leading to the pedagogical educational process through informal learning, and, on the other hand, making the educational system more efficient. The analysis and results of the qualitative research data are based on the abductive theory construction according to Peirce and the methodology of the Grounding Theory according to Strauss / Corbin. The research revealed that the choice of pedagogical profession and the perception of vocation are evoked by biographical circumstances. The pedagogical potential noticed and mentioned by the close people as well as the preferences for certain activities from childhood and the perception of one’s needs become a basis for the further development of existing competences. Thus, when a competent educator who experiences strong dedication to an educator’s profession gives lessons in an educational institution, the effective and purposeful activity of the educator interacts with the efficiency building of the education system.

The article examines the features of control in the development of education systems. It is concluded that in order to increase the efficiency of education management depending on the level of development of the education system, control in it should be implemented on the basis of differentiated participation in the control activities of public structures involved in the educational process. In a rigid education system, control is exercised by the management of the institution almost without the participation of public structures. In the system with delegated managerial powers, it is advisable to involve the self-governing bodies of the educational institution in the implementation of certain micro-functions of control in educational subsystems. In a «soft» education system, the self-governing bodies of an educational institution can be involved in the implementation of individual micro-functions of control in the education system or in the implementation of control functions in its subsystems as a whole. In the system with network interactions, it is expedient to transfer control functions to self-governing bodies of the institution both in the education system as a whole and in its subsystems; other public structures included in the educational process may be involved in the implementation of certain micro-functions of control in the subsystems of the educational system. In the synergetic education system, it is expedient to delegate control functions in the educational system and its subsystems to the self-governing bodies of the institution; public structures involved in the educational process may be involved in the implementation of individual micro-functions of control in the education system or in the implementation in its subsystems of control functions as a whole. That is, the article substantiates that depending on the level of development of the educational institution, it is advisable to control it on the basis of differentiated participation in control measures of concerned public structures, ensuring the implementation of differentiated participatory control in the system. At the same time, further research requires into the use of optimal methods of control, the choice of which may also largely depend on the level of development of the education system.

In the presented study, the authors raise the question of the need to include in the educational process of a preschool institution to familiarize children with some philosophical categories. The educational system in which the child is included, starting from preschool childhood, provides him with the opportunity to gradually and continuously enter the knowledge of the world around him. It is in preschool childhood that the child is exposed to various relationships, values of culture and health, diverse patterns in the field of different knowledge. This contributes to a broader interaction of the preschooler with the world around him, which, in turn, ensures the assimilation not of disparate ideas about objects and phenomena, but their natural integration and interpenetration, which means understanding the integrity of the picture of the world. The authors prove the idea that the assimilation of philosophical categories by children contributes to the understanding of the structure of the surrounding world. The analysis of research is presented, proving that children's fiction in an understandable and accessible language, life examples and vivid images is able to explain to children the laws of the functioning of nature and society, as well as to reveal the world of human relations and feelings. Fiction surrounds the child from the first years of his life. It is she who contributes to the development of thinking and imagination, enriches the sensory world, provides role models and teaches you to find a way out in different situations. Philosophical categories such as "love and friendship", "beautiful and ugly", "good and evil" are represented in children's literature very widely, and the efficiency of mastering philosophical categories depends on the skill of an adult in conveying the content of a work, on correctly placed accents.

However, 9.3% found those fears irrelevant. 2. Problems associated with the use of ICT in educational activities (lack of competence) — 53.2%. Among those, 22.2% have major difficulties and 31% have minor difficulties. Only 15.7% consider themselves fully competent. 3. 73% of educators noted difficulties in involving children in distance learning. This was the main problem for 12.8% of respondents. 4. «It is difficult to adhere to all anti-epidemic requirements in an educational institution to protect students» — 69.5% stated that this is one of the most significant problems of professional activity. 5.
