“With distance learning, unfortunately, we currently see that the fees for higher and postgraduate education are not reduced. Why? Firstly, because they also maintain all these buildings, because we believe that after some time the students will return and study in the traditional mode, and secondly, the salaries of all teachers are also kept. In general, the volume of the training course is not changed. Moreover, when universities switch to a remote format, it entails additional costs - new server capacities, expansion of communication channels, internal systems,”Aimagambetov said.
He pointed out that questions of tuition fees are issues of civil law relations between a student and a university.
