Russian students plan to increase scholarships not below the minimum wage (SMIC). The relevant bill of policy will be finalized and submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation this year. This was told by the Duma Committee on Social Policy Yaroslav Nilov.
“The initiative (this year – approx. URA.RU) will be finalized and introduced so that the funds are included in the draft federal budget for the next year. Scholarships should first of all stimulate students “of their own size”. The minimum should be the minimum wage or the subsistence level established by the regions, ”Nilov said in an interview with RIA Novosti. According to him, the current scholarships for students “do not solve anything” and this problem needs to be dealt with.
Earlier, the Ministry of Education and Science promised students scholarship increase. According to the statement of the department, from September 1, 2023, scholarships will be increased to 15,000 rubles per month for students, and up to 20,000 for graduate students. In addition, the State Duma of the Russian Federation proposed to introduce an increase for students for the New Year and, by analogy with the 13th salary, pay students an amount equal to a monthly scholarship. .
