As VK has reported recently, the decree "On establishment of the North Caucasus Federal University in the North Caucasus Federal District" was signed today by the president.

The head of the Russian Federation expressed hope that the new university will be the backbone for the creation of quality education and will gather the best forces available in the district and adjunct territories and would solve the educational problem at significantly better level than it is currently solved at a number of regional universities.
