COMPETITION IN EDUCATIONAL MARKET IN RUSSIA IN THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Abstract
The study is based on a methodology proposed by European Association for Education Law and Policy for their research conducted in 2009 and devoted to commercialization, competition and corruption in European education. In the article, the attempt is made to apply their methods to analyze the competition in Russian educational market which existed before the adoption of new educational legislation which came into force in 2013. The subjects of examination in this article are: competition law in education, free and paid education, market prices and state funded HEIs. The author states that the legislation and court practice in Russia in the first decade of the 21st century enabled educational institutions to do some competitive kinds of activities but mainly education was considered as public service, not market good. Besides that, the legislation and the corpus of case-law were too complicated. Some laws and decisions made by courts and authorities might contradict one another. State-operated and private educational institutions had different rights and abilities. Thus, Russia needed to gather all the norms concerning activities in educational sphere into one law. This law was adopted in 2012 and came into force in 2013.
