Teachers and Students With Anti-corruption Guides

From today's teachers and sixth - grade students in history, civic education, and language classes, besides basic books, will have Anticorruption guides prepared by the United Nations Development Programme and the Ministry of Education and Technology.

Anti-corruption guides contain advice to integrate anticorruption themes into three selected subjects, and the material will be used along with selected classes.

The manager of this project from U The NDP, Albert Avdiu, announced that implementation of this activity is based on key findings and recommendations on the assessment of corruption risks in the 2015 education sector.

Both topics and relevant teaching guides and students have been compiled with close co-operation with responsible officials. This initiative of including anticorruption themes in the plans is based on key findings and recommendations to assess corruption risks in the 2015 education sector. In order to include anti-corruption education in schools, as part of overall corruption prevention efforts”, he said.

Deputy Minister of Education Arber Geci said August is committed to working in terms of preparing similar materials that make students' preparation, or instruct students and fill them with knowledge of corrupt phenomena.

<x) They seem to be extremely familiar with the subject of corruption, and this can have tremendous consequences because being very much talk about corruption for them tomorrow, after tomorrow corruption can be natural. Therefore, the ministry also in this project estimates that an extremely large and important job has been done in preventing corruption, because the only way to prevent corruption is to educate children in schools and prepare them for this negative phenomenon”, he said.

He said the effects the guides who are prepared by teachers and UNDP are the effects that students prepare and prevent corruption.

Local expert Bujar Gallopen announced that anti-corruption themes have been proposed to develop as modular approaches. According to him, no election course has been selected because these materials are often not maintained.

“has been proposed and agreed that anti-corruption topics will be developed and installed as modular approaches, no new materials needed, no further electoral materials. But the themes develop as part of the classes modules and be a regular part of the subject because of the achievement of implementation. We sometimes know that election classes don't always apply in all schools, or in all classes, it's in the department of school and teachers to decide on electoral subjects, and in this context we've seen that the implementation of anti-corruption themes can fade. In this context we have proposed that the topics be modular, to be part of the subjects which are regular material”, he said.

Enhancing and publishing guides has been implemented by the SAEK project I I, UNDP, Office in Kosovo in co-operation with the Ministry of Education, thanks to support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Co-operation in Kosovo, as well as DANIDA, the Denmark Government.
