New initiatives within the framework of the Student Youth Club and the "Anti-Corruption Scholar" competition
Systematic work on combating corruption is continuing at the National University of Uzbekistan. For this purpose, a meeting was organized to further improve the activities of the Student Youth Club on Combating Corruption under the Department for Managing the Compliance and Supervision System for Combating Corruption, and to strengthen the culture of honesty and transparency among young people. The event was held at the initiative of the primary organization of the Youth Union in cooperation with the university leadership.
At the meeting, the Rector’s Advisor for Youth Affairs Jahongir Ruziyev, Head of the Compliance and Supervision Department Shukhrat Gulomov, and Chief Specialist Murodjon Abdurakhmonov spoke and gave important recommendations on preventing and eliminating corruption in the higher education system and instilling the principles of honesty among young people. Also, ideas were put forward on the implementation of the “Corruption-Free Sphere” project at the university level, strengthening electronic control mechanisms, and improving the open management system.
During the event, the leaders of the student youth club at the faculties analyzed their activities and discussed innovative ideas and initiatives for the new academic year. In particular, ideas such as conducting anti-corruption propaganda work using interactive methods, expanding the “Honesty Ambassador” youth network, and creating content promoting a culture of honesty through social networks were put forward.
The university also held a knowledge competition among 11 faculty teams on the topic “Anti-corruption expert”. The competition was organized in cooperation with the Youth Union and the Anti-Corruption Department and consisted of test and written question-and-answer stages in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations.
According to the results, the 1st place was taken by the “Lawyers” team from the Faculty of Social Sciences, the 2nd place was taken by the “Philologists” team from the Faculty of Journalism and Uzbek Philology, and the 3rd place was taken by the “Stop Corruption” team from the Faculty of Physics.
This event served not only to deepen the study of the legal foundations of combating corruption, but also to increase the students’ independent thinking, legal awareness, and commitment to honesty. From now on, the National University of Uzbekistan will continue to carry out comprehensive work on the formation of a “Corruption-Free Educational Environment” based on the principles of honesty, justice, and transparency.
