A large-scale anti-corruption campaign entitled “Clean Examination Period” has been started by the Administration of the University, Student Rector's Office, Students Union of S. Toraighyrov PSU, Committee for Youth Affairs, and Kazakhstan Students Alliance.
The main objective of the campaign is formation of legal awareness, active citizenship, and intolerance to violations of anti-corruption laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to the organizers of the event, identifying specific acts of corruption is not their ultimate goal. The purpose of the campaign is to show students what corruption is and what consequences it may have.
A number of measures have been taken under the Clean Examination Period campaign at S. Toraighyrov PSU in order to ensure fairness and transparency of the examination session. These measures are aimed at exclusion of informal relations and corruption in the educational environment.
A large-scale anti-corruption propaganda is carried out at the University: there are agitation posters and boxes for suggestions and comments in all academic buildings of the University. Moreover, a new “Questions Regarding the Examination Period” section is now available on the website of the University. Surveys and round-table discussions are conducted among students and teaching staff members.
The administration of S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University encourages students to actively participate in the fight against corruption in the University, monitor the implementation of the Clean Examination Period campaign, and strive to get a high-quality education.
