This goes on to show how much higher education in the country is valued. Higher educational institutions in Russia have laid a greater emphasis on science and technology.
Besides, Russian medical, mathematical, scientific, and space and aviation research is excellent, which has attracted a number of students from overseas countries.

Post soviet era, many new private educational institutions have come up that have exclusively focused on providing quality education. The mass education system in the country is also among one of the best in the world with a phenomenal literacy rate of 98 percent, thus exceeding most Western European countries.

Higher education in the country is in the domain of both the public and non-public accredited higher educational institutions. Higher education in the country has been divided into basic higher education and postgraduate higher education. Competitive entry requirements at the Russian universities also ensure that only good students get admission into the institutions thereby ensuring quality in the education. Many Russian institutions also have programmes for public and professional needs.

Tuitions fees for degree programmes can range between $2000 and $8000 per year, with costs for room & board, books, etc. ranging between another $1500 and $5000.
