Russian universities reorient international cooperation to Central Asian countries
Russian universities are reorienting the vector of international cooperation to the countries of Central Asia. This was stated in one of the largest Russian higher education institutions — the Siberian Federal University, RIA Novosti reports.
According to the press service of SFU, partnership with the states of this region will become a priority in the strategy of internationalization of education in Russia. Adaptation of students from the region is taking place at an accelerated pace due to basic knowledge of the Russian language and, accordingly, obtaining more in-depth knowledge.
"We intend to generalize the existing experience and reach a completely new level of interaction with these states, primarily on the basis of Slavic universities. It can be a good partner project with high development potential," said Maxim Rumyantsev, Rector of the university.
In addition, in Central Asian countries, applicants can enroll in Russian universities for free under various programs and quotas, and the number of places for the countries of the region will continue to grow.
The Department of International Cooperation of SFU noted that such a "reorientation to Asia" can significantly affect the stability of relations in business and the economy.
At the moment, more than 30 thousand students from Turkmenistan are studying in Russia.
