The Ministry of Education and Science will tighten the rules for university admissions Strengthening the supervision of admissions for Olympic benefits was the main result of the university admissions campaign in 2026. This is exactly what the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, emphasized when he spoke at the meeting of the Council of the Russian Rectors' Union.
