                 FOREIGN STUDENTS IN OUR COUNTRY

      There is a wide system of higher education in our country. Our higher
schools having considerable experience in the training of specialists are
willingly sharing it with other countries. At present a great number of young
men and women from 150 countries study in our country. They have come to
receive necessary knowledge and then use it for the good of their countries.
Most foreign students and post-graduates come for a complete course, but some
come for a shorter period. Among the latter are exchange students from the
USA, Britain, France, Sweden.
      In 1960 the Friendship University named after Patrice Lumumba was
founded in Moscow. The basic purpose of the University is to help the countries
of Asia, Africa and Latin America to train their own specialists in industry,
agriculture, medical service, education and research.
      The students spend the first year in the preparatory department, studying
Russian and subjects from the secondary school course. Students having no
regular school education go through a longer preparatory period. Then the
student chooses which department he wishes to do to. All tuition is carried out in
Russian, studied in small groups under the guidance of experienced teachers.
      The University laboratories and classrooms have all modern facilities and
teaching aids. There are all kinds of laboratory instruments, the latest types of
equipment, machine-tools, apparatus which are available for use free of charge.
      Tuition at the University is free. Besides, the students are given monthly
living allowances, free textbooks, free medical aid. Those who want may spend
their holidays at rest-homes, camps and health resorts of our country. The
University also pays the student’s fare out Moscow and back to their own
countries after graduation.
