The average cost of first-year tuition at Russian universities has increased by 10% over the past year, and by 17% compared to 2019, experts at the Higher School of Economics (NRU HSE) estimated.
“This is due to the reorientation of effective demand for higher education institutions and programs of higher quality and, accordingly, more expensive”, – the newspaper “Kommersant” quotes the head of the study, scientific director of the Higher School of Economics, Yaroslava Kuzminova.
Meanwhile, the average passing score of the Unified State Examination (USE) for admission to the budget for full-time undergraduate / specialty programs in 2021 decreased in Russia as a whole by 0.5 and amounted to 70.3, – a decrease occurred for the first time in 10 years, RBC notes. …
Let us also remind that in mid-December the head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor) Anzor Muzaev admitted in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta that the “portfolio of graduates” upon admission to higher educational institutions could become an alternative to the Unified State Exam.
