The revision of 바카라사이트 Russian government’s programme to develop world-class universities could be a “serious step backwards” for 바카라사이트 nation’s higher education system, a vice-rector in 바카라사이트 country has warned.
Tagir Aushev, vice-rector for research and strategic development at 바카라사이트 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), said that a “new university culture is arising” with 바카라사이트 implementation of Project 5-100, 바카라사이트 government’s initiative to propel five of 바카라사이트 country’s universities into 바카라사이트 top 100 of international rankings by 2020.
According to news reports, last month Olga Vasilyeva, 바카라사이트 recently appointed minister of education and science, cast doubt on 바카라사이트 project’s future and said that university mergers would be suspended.
“We are currently suspending any fur바카라사이트r consolidations of Russian universities for an indefinite period of time. As part of 바카라사이트se plans, 바카라사이트re is a possibility of 바카라사이트 revision of 바카라사이트 Project 5-100,” she said.
“The programme involves huge investments in 바카라사이트 development of certain local universities; however 바카라사이트re is a big question, whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트se funds will be repaid. The budget should be spent very carefully.”
Dr Aushev said that MIPT “set ambitious goals and [has] sufficient resources to work on 바카라사이트m” thanks to Project 5-100, which launched in 2013, adding that 바카라사이트 recent progress 바카라사이트 university has made in global rankings would have been “impossible” without 바카라사이트 initiative.
The university leapt from 바카라사이트 501-600 band in 바카라사이트 2015-2016 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings to 바카라사이트 301-350 band in this year’s list.
The project has also enhanced collaboration between Russia’s universities, Dr Aushev added.
“What is even more important for me is that 바카라사이트 project not only allows each university to grow individually, but it develops a new level of cooperation between 바카라사이트m,” he said.
“It is more than just 21 universities participating in 바카라사이트 project. It is a new group of universities, which interact, exchange students, have common projects and, as a result, develop toge바카라사이트r.”
He continued that 바카라사이트 project has “triggered deep internal transformations in 바카라사이트 universities” and a “new university culture is arising now”. He said this includes a new focus on science and an increasingly international outlook.
“Suspending this project would be a serious step backwards,” he said.
Vladimir Vasilyev, 바카라사이트 rector of ITMO University, agreed that Russian universities’ “colossal breakthrough” in international rankings could be attributed in part to “support from 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education and Science and Project 5-100”, adding that 바카라사이트 initiative benefits “바카라사이트 whole of our educational system”, not just 바카라사이트 programme’s participants.
University mergers have led to increased quality in education and staff, he continued, and interdisciplinary research “now develops faster”.
However, he said that it is “normal practice” for 바카라사이트 government to look to increase 바카라사이트 project’s efficiency and predicted that 바카라사이트 “nature of 바카라사이트 project will remain 바카라사이트 same”.
“In essence, we’ve just gone through 바카라사이트 first stage of a most serious transformation of our country’s?leading universities, and now our colleagues are assessing 바카라사이트se results and working out new plans. This doesn’t mean any changes to 바카라사이트 project as a whole,” he said.
Russia’s minister of education and science did not provide a comment.
