A Comparative Study of Higher Educational Institutions in Russia and England: Analyzing the Fulfilment Levels of Students

Abstract

This paper seeks to compare the management and performance of higher educational institutions in Russia and the England, judging from the satisfactory levels of the students they teach. With the use of a survey carried out in both countries, via a representative sample of 2000 students, 1000 in each country, this paper found that on a general level, most UK respondents had a much more positive view of their educational institutions, except when it came to “affordability”, while the Russian respondents had a much more positive position in this area. The paper offers an original approach to making a contribution to the growing debate about the quality and effectiveness of higher education in the Russian Federation.
