Abstract:
Since the mid- 1980's, the number of Russian institutions of higher education has declined 33%. In 1996, federal funding for agricultural research stopped. Provincial governments are now responsible for funding agricultural research and instruction. Universities have introduced indirect fees, tuition charges, rented facilities, and cut faculty to meet expenses. This paper discusses the impact of the economic crisis on agricultural education at Chelyabinsk State Agricultural Engineering University as a case study of the global situation in Russian higher education.
