Abstract

Although Russia has a strong educational potential, its share in the market of educational services is insignificant. This article analyzes the structure of income from the export of Russian educational services. The article provides calculations of the economic effect of the export of educational services, which is a combination of funds raised from students as payment for educational services, as well as additional expenses (payment for dormitories or rent, food, transport, entertainment, Internet and cellular communications, and other expenses). The leader in economic profitability among Russian universities due to the largest number of foreign students is the peoples ‘Friendship University of Russia’. The article reflects the problems that create barriers to increasing such incomes and the economic efficiency of education exports as a derivative of such incomes. One of the key problems is the problem of the unattractiveness of the Russian economy for the subsequent employment of young professionals. The article examines recent policy changes that could significantly support the export of Russian education by increasing the number of foreign students, which is expected to increase the share of educational services exports in Russia’s GDP, as well as the competitiveness of the national economy as a whole. it also examines the implementation of the Federal project “Export of education” of the national project “Education”.
