The VSU Rector, V. Priyatelev, was elected Chair of the Rectors’ Council; the position became vacant after former chairperson was transferred to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Among other issues on the agenda of the Council is the preparation of universities for the admissions in 2020.
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education made a decision to increase the number of students who will be able to study at regional universities at the expense of the Federal budget. If this condition is met, a much larger number of schoolchildren in the Vologda Oblast and neighboring regions will be able to enroll at VSU.
On June 11, at a press conference, Elena Ryabova, Head of the Department of Education of the Vologda Oblast, Vyacheslav Priyatelev, Rector of VSU, Nikolay Malkov, Rector of the Dairy Farming Academy, and Alexander Strizhov, Acting Rector of Cherepovets State University, will speak about plans for cooperation.
