    Since August 15, a "Week against forced Labor" has been announced in schools and pre-school educational organizations throughout the republic. As part of the campaign, the Labor Inspectorate will conduct control measures in all educational institutions.

    According to the press service of the Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction, the reason for such measures was the increased reports of the involvement of teachers and educators in forced labor, which jeopardizes the inviolability of citizens' labor rights.

    According to reports, information about 10 cases of involving teachers in forced labor, published in the media and social networks, has been confirmed. Administrative measures have already been applied against the guilty officials. At the same time, representations were submitted to the relevant departments on the elimination of conditions that contribute to violations of the law.

    The ministry notes that during the "week" responsibility will be applied not only to employers, but also to all officials who admitted the facts of forced labor.
