Data scraping tool of Russian govt HE data. VERY WIP, but kind of usable.

The data comes from Monitoring of Higher Education Organizations, organized by Russian Ministry of Higher Education & Sciences. 2013 & 2014 editions of the Monitoring use a different layout of their data pages, so these years' data is still WIP.

This repo contains SQLite database db.sqlite, which contains data of the Monitoring from 2015 and 2022 (each monitoring contain a previous year's data). Feel free to use it for your research or download the data yourself using download_2015_plus.py.

The script fills an SQLite database db.sqlite with following tables:

• indicators contain all indicators found in the Monitoring (iid being the primary key of the table)
• federal_districts contains federal districts (fdid being the primary key)
• universities contains universities' data: primary key uid, name, address, ministry (if it's a govt university), owner, fdid
• ugn contains УГН (Укрупненные группы направлений подготовки) - a list of major specialization groupings, used by the Ministry to keep track of students' majors;
• uni_ugn contains yearly data regarding universities' ugn composition (ugnid, uid, year and people);
• data contains Monitoring data (uid, iid, year and value).
