The Committee of State Control has summed up the results of the control over the preparation and conduct of entrance examinations in higher and secondary vocational education institutions in 2021 and has developed proposals for improving the organisation of the campaign, the control authority informed BELTA.

The report on the work of the state commission has been submitted to the Head of State.

Control was ensured at all stages of the admission campaign – from the conduct of centralised testing (CT) to the enrolment of applicants in higher and secondary vocational education institutions for all forms of study. The state commission included 8 representatives of the control authority, and its activities were supported by a working group established on the basis of the CSC. In total, over 220 employees of the committee were involved in these control measures this year.

"Some violations and shortcomings were identified in the work of the organisational and admission committees, which did not affect the enrolment results. Guilty persons have been brought to disciplinary responsibility. No cases of corruption have been established," the CSC noted.

11 applicants were removed from participating in the CT for using crib sheets, mobile phones, and other violations of the rules.

Hotlines operated on the basis of the state commission's working group and regional commissions during the admission campaign. A total of 12 oral and 16 written appeals were received, each of which was explained and responded to. The appeals mainly concerned consultations on issues of CT, entrance examinations, competition procedures, and enrolment procedures in universities and secondary vocational education institutions.
