Those who want to force teachers to do something that is not part of their duties will be held accountable before the law, says Saida Mirziyoyeva

Saida Mirziyoyeva, head of the branch of the presidential administration, assessed the draft law approved by the Senate as a big step towards the protection of teachers.

The Senate approved a draft law, which stipulates punishment up to criminal liability for the involvement of teachers in forced labor.

"I am sure that those who want to force them to do things that are not part of their duties will have to answer before the law. After the president signs the law, it will be a big event for teachers and the education sector as a whole. We are waiting," - the Head of the Communications and Information Policy Branch of the Executive Office of the Presidential Administration (Saida Mirziyoyeva) said.
