Claim 3: “The goal is to collect best practices and scale them up across the entire system, said Russia’s Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov.”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results mention the concept of collecting and scaling up best practices in the higher education system, which aligns with the claim. One result mentions 'develop and disseminate the best practices in research, innovation and education throughout the higher education system,' and another references Falkov discussing the transition to a new model. While the exact quote is not confirmed by two independent sources, the core concept of scaling best practices is supported by multiple search results mentioning Falkov and the system's development.
