Higher Education as a Means of Upward Social Mobility: The Expectations of Graduates and the Realities of Present-Day Society
Burlutskaia, M. G.
Russian Education and Society, v56 n4 p52-63 Apr 2014
Research data show that higher education in Russia is less of a vehicle of upward mobility than it was in earlier times, not least because it is becoming less of an advantage as the percentage of people with degrees increases. This raises questions about what the goals of higher education should be, and of how to prepare young people for the job market.
