Belov S. A., Soloviev A. A., Suyazov V. V. Ensuring the right to education by state university’s funding programs.

The constitutional right to education implies the need to support not only the leading universities with the help of “academic leadership” programs, but all universities established by the state. The foundation of a university by the state imposes on it the responsibility for ensuring the conditions of educational and scientific activity; secondly, students of all state universities equally have the right to demand from the state the creation of conditions for obtaining high-quality and modern education. There is a significant disparity between leading state universities, which, due to their initially high performance and a significant amount of property, fall into the state academic leadership programs with the provision of additional funding, and the other higher education institutions, which, although established as a public entity, draw less allowances from the state since they do not claim to be included in prestigious international academic rankings. However, it is important to ensure the development of the entire system of domestic higher education. The authors formulated a number of relevant proposals for the state policy in the field of scientific and higher education, regarding the distribution of funds and other resources between institutions of higher education, as well as proposed specific measures for their implementation illustrated with the examples from practice. Keywords: the right to education, the system of higher education in Russia, state universities of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, scientific organizations, funding of education and science, programs of state support for education and science.
