However, this is not the only role of rankings in education, in the conditions that they include not only statistical data, but more complex criteria, for example, the opinion of leading scientists, or taking into account the ideas about the outcomes of their training of graduates, the rankings allow formulating strategic goals for the further development of the university, and in a broader sense - to set the vector of the development of the educational space as a whole.
