Uzbekistan may ban indefinitely to work at schools some individuals with criminal records

The draft bill proposed by the Ministry of Public Education of Uzbekistan interdicts individuals with criminal records to hold key positions in the general secondary education system.

According to it, the following are prohibited from being appointed to leadership positions:

• persons declared by the court to be incompetent or have limited legal capacity;
• persons registered in psychiatric or narcology institutions;
• persons suffering from a disease that prevents them from carrying out leadership activities in the general secondary education system;
• persons who have been previously convicted of an intentional crime (regardless of whether the conviction was terminated or removed);
• persons who have committed (intentionally) crimes that have been terminated without the issue of guilt in criminal cases being resolved.
