Foreign students are not expelled from Russian universities due to the transition to distance learning, RIA Novosti reports. The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education did not receive such reports.

The department recalls that Moscow and St. Petersburg higher educational institutions have been switched students to remote learning. Universities in regions where the incidence of coronavirus is on the rise had to do the same.

Srtate-funded places in universities will be reserved for students who, due to quarantine measures, cannot enter Russia and are experiencing difficulties due to insufficiently good quality of communication, the Ministry of Education and Science promised.

The department added that they are in constant contact with the leadership of universities and interested federal bodies, as well as student associations.
