35%

of Russian universities do not have dormitories for students. Another 6% of institutions of higher education view the quality of their student housing as bad. This information was obtained during a survey of vocational education leaders carried out in the autumn of 2013 as part of a Monitoring of Education Markets and Organisations (MEMO) study conducted by HSE (the project is coordinated by HSE ISSEK) in collaboration with the Levada-Center.

Only one in three universities have living conditions that can be called good. Approximately the same number of those in charge of institutions of higher education found the condition of their student dormitories to be satisfactory.

In the area of basic and intermediate vocational education, the situation is similar: just over one third of technical training schools, professional colleges and lyceums do not have dormitories.

The results of the study will be published in 2014 in a newsletter called ‘Strategies of Vocational Education Leaders’.
