"According to this year, it is obvious that foreign students warmly react to the initiatives of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia and the further creation of a dynamic multinational community is an important factor emphasizing the improvement of the situation in Russia this year. However, it should be noted that the low ratio of the number of students and teachers is another key success factor in Russia.

Providing a high share of teachers to students is crucial for the further progress of Russia, "said Ben Sauter, head of the research department of the QS Intelligence Unit research department.
