Rector of Ural Federal University Victor Koksharov reminded of personal responsibility in the project

According to the rector of the Ural Federal University Viktor Koksharov Participation in 5-100 project developed by the Ministry of Education launched an important process of changes. 

"We have made a commitment to improve the quality of education and to bring research to the world standards, - says Victor Koksharov. – This standards assume greater responsibility, including my personal responsibility. Now we are preparing for the transition to a new educational policy. At the same time we can already talk about successful results: scientific productivity has been increased, the number of competencies and international students have also been increased. It is an important "lever" in dialog with the other countries."

Differentiation between Russian universities is evident, according to the chief economist of VnesheconomBank, Andrey Klepach.

"You know that the budget has a separate section for the financing of Moscow State University, some programs are financing some other universities. The universities participating in the project 5-100 are on the special account. That's because these universities train specialists, who are in a very high deamand nowadays. - said Klepac. - I see a new wave of engineers in metallurgy, pharmaceutical and other industries. "

At the same time, the expert said, the problem of the quality of education remains relevant: the level of Soviet higher education is still not reached. One of the ways for solutions this problem, on which the universities-participants of the project 5-100 had already started moving is the creation of departments with the participation of business and industry.

"It creates a different type of interaction between universities and employers," - said the chief economist of VnesheconomBank.
