In the article there is given an analysis of the problem of reforming the system of domestic education, both general and professional. It is underlined that the essence of the occurring changes consists in transition from the so-called knowledge-based to the competence model of the education system.

Distinguishing these components shows how complicated competence is and how carefully one has to approach its studying.
