Students will lose several years due to the difference in the quality of education

February 28, 2015 (12:00).Currently, Russian legislation allows admitting foreign students only for the first year.The Ministry of Education says that this rule should not be changed.Since the quality of education in some foreign universities does not meet the standards of Russian education.

The Ministry of Education and Science does not support the initiative of the ombudsman for students' rights Artem Khromov to admit students from foreign universities to a similar course in Russia.Today, according to the legislation, foreign students are admitted after entrance exams and only for the first year.After that, each student goes to an individual program, which allows you to identify the level of training.

Khromov states that the law "On Education" needs to be amended due to the current economic problems.Many Russian students are currently unable to continue their studies at foreign universities.And this amendment will give them the opportunity to transfer to Russian universities without losing their course.

"By no means in all countries the quality of higher education corresponds to Russian standards and the same course of study does not always mean the same level of students' knowledge, therefore the direct possibility of transferring to a similar course may affect the quality of those issued by Russian universitiesspecialists, "- said the Ministry of Education.As the Ministry of Education and Science notes, similar rules are common in foreign universities.
