Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed universities to focus on budget places that ensure early import substitution. This was announced by the press service of the Cabinet with reference to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko on May 6, 2022.
In the current situation, our universities are faced with the task of not lowering the bar for the training of highly qualified personnel to mobilize key sectors of the economy... The emphasis is on specialties for early import substitution and the achievement of scientific and technological sovereignty of Russia, "said the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. |
According to him, of the 590.1 thousand budget places allocated for the 2023/24 school year, more than 73% received educational institutions in the regions. Most of the budget places are provided in the engineering and technical areas of training - 245 thousand places. In second place are pedagogical sciences (more than 75 thousand), followed by public and medical areas (68 thousand and 53 thousand, respectively).
According to the levels of higher education, the budget places are distributed as follows:
- almost 334.7 thousand - undergraduate programs;
- 123.4 thousand - magistracy;
- 83.9 thousand - specialty;
- 19.6 thousand - residency;
- 17.8 thousand - graduate school,
- 2 thousand - postgraduate internship.
The Cabinet of Ministers reported that at a high level there are still a number of budget places in enlarged groups of specialties and training areas, within which personnel are trained for the digital economy. For the 2023/2024 academic year, 160,361 budget places were established for universities. Of these, 112,993 were sent to the regions.
Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov emphasized that the ministry is carrying out systematic work to increase the number of budget places for students.
It is important to note that the key role for us in the allocation of seats is played by the need for personnel, which is stated by regional authorities, federal executive authorities and large employers, "he said.[1] |
Putin instructed to create 25 university campuses
In February 2022, Vladimir Putin's instructions were published, which were given by the President of Russia following a meeting of the State Council and the Council on Science and Education. One of them involves the creation of "at least 25 campuses of educational organizations of higher education by 2030 on the basis of public-private partnership, providing for the necessary amount of financial support for the implementation of this project from the budget allocations of the federal budget."
The order was given to the Government, "ВЭБ.РФ" and the authorities of the regions. They will also have to define the concept of "campus" and consider how to create and operate them. In addition, Putin instructed to propose measures to stimulate the participation of investors and concessionaires in this project.
According to ВЭБ.РФ estimates, which Kommersant cites, investments in the project will amount to 607 billion rubles until 2030, including 278 billion rubles from private investors.
In February 2022, the Ministry of Education and Science proposed to redirect to the creation of campuses the budget funds provided for the program of internal Russian academic mobility of students and scientific and pedagogical workers. As the representative of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko explained, campuses can have a greater effect on achieving national development goals and ensure the consolidation of Russia in a dozen leading countries in research and development.
According to Mikhail Alashkevich, managing director of ВЭБ.РФ, the new campuses will not require budget funding at the operational stage and will be managed by non-state operators. After all, the campus is not only educational and scientific laboratories, it is also modern campuses, sports and leisure facilities, as well as public spaces for all citizens[2]
