According to Kukharevskaya, today's 11-graders do not want to study abroad.

It is necessary to export, perhaps, somewhere to graduate from school in another country? What can you tell us? “I say:” I can't give you such tips. You should decide, please listen to the child. “And now you know what I saw? What are the guys against leaving,” she said.
