Figure of the day: 65%
of full-time students at Russian universities studied free of charge in 2014. This figure grew in comparison with 2006, when free education was received by only 57% of students. These data were obtained in a survey of students of institutions of higher education that was carried out as part of a Monitoring of Education Markets and Organizations study conducted by HSE in collaboration with the Levada Centre in 2014.
The results of the study will be published in a newsletter in 2015.
