The problem of ethnic tolerance among students of modern universities

Abstract

The article focuses on an urgent problem of today’s system of higher education – on the problem of ethnic tolerance in the process of training. The author carries out the study of the dynamics of ethnic tolerance among Russian students during coeducation with representatives of various ethnic groups. 120 people – second-year, third-year, and forth-year students – took part in the study. The author demonstrates that higher ethnic tolerance towards representatives of other cultures characterizes senior students.
