Narrative Analysis: Bandwagon

On 8 July, the Moscow venue of the Valdai Club hosted a discussion entitled “Russia’s Role in International Educational Mobility”. Moderator Oleg Barabanov noted that the issue of attracting foreign undergraduate, Master’s-level, and doctoral students to Russian universities is becoming increasingly significant. The President of Russia has set an ambitious target—to increase the number of international students studying in Russia to 500,000 over the medium term. Achieving this goal will require considerable efforts from educational institutions, public authorities, and civil society organisations.
