More than a third (35 percent) of families are ready to abandon the receipt of children in universities due to the high cost of training. The survey conducted the Higher School of Economics (HSE), write “Vedomosti”.
also among the reasons why parents will not send children to learn – the lack of or insufficient number of budget places (17 percent), low level of knowledge in children (13 percent), the need to start earning and insufficient interest in learning (by 11 percent).
At the same time, about 80 percent want their children to enroll in universities. Russians with higher education and high incomes expect their children to learn from the best universities of the country, people without higher education and with small incomes less ambitious. For residents of small settlements, the high cost of entering the university becomes “practically insurmountable” factor.
The availability of higher education in the country is equal to 80 percent, it is so many children after school go to universities, notes the State Duma deputy Mikhail Kuzmin. In 2022, the number of budget seats will reach 430 thousand, the deputy of the State Duma Olga Pilipenko added.
