At the meeting, it was noted that last year, 21 complaints in the field of education were received from residents of the region to the Agency's 24-hour call center at number 1424. The most frequent requests were related to the needs of educational institutions, the purchase of antiseptics, and obtaining diplomas and certificates, conducting public procurement, conducting certifications and Olympiads. The participants of the meeting also noted that the amount of fines imposed on school principals on the basis of inspections for compliance with sanitary standards, fire safety in schools, can lead to corruption. For some of them, it is planned to hold a comprehensive meeting to discuss systemic issues and prevent corruption with the participation of members of Parliament and representatives of the ministry in order to amend certain requirements.

Note that if you have witnessed a corruption manifestation, you can call the Anti-Corruption Agency's helpline 1424, which provides free round-the-clock services.
