CNA and the Ministry of Education will strengthen efforts to combat informal payments in educational institutions

The National Anticorruption Center and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research (MECC) will consolidate their efforts in actions aimed at preventing and combating informal payments in educational institutions. This was one of the main topics discussed at the meeting between Ruslan Flocea, director of the CNA and Liliana Nicolăiescu-Onofrei, Minister of Education, Culture and Research.

According to Ruslan Flocea, the eradication of the practices of collecting informal payments in the educational system is one of the main objectives which CNA can assume together with the MECC, as the society is not satisfied with the so-called voluntary contributions. "We need to ensure as much transparency as possible in the activity of public associations and bring them into the legal field."

The Minister of Education, Culture and Research also said that effective intervention on this segment is imminent, or that the educational mission of the school forces the education staff to prove zero tolerance for corruption. "Public associations must work just on voluntary principles", said the minister.

Also, CNA and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research addressed other issues in the meeting. Thus, the introduction in the school curricula in the gymnasium and lyceum of the optional subject "Anticorruption education" will be an important step in training the young generation in the spirit of intolerance towards corruption. Both sides agreed to strengthen their institutional capacities in order to instruct some trainers within the MECC who can hold anti-corruption lessons before teachers, students and parents. Therefore, the specialists of the Ministry will establish an effective communication with the target groups in an accessible and acceptable manner by all the parties involved.

Therefore, both authorities have mandated specialists with functional competences in the field. They will have permanent working meetings, during which an anti-corruption action plan will be elaborated, meant to exclude corruption facts from the educational process.
