• Within the project Fight against Corruption in Education, in cooperation with the Centre for monitoring (CEMI), representatives of the Directorate for Anti-Corruption Initiative participated in an anti-corruption campaign for secondary school students. The campaign workshops were held in secondary schools in the following Montenegrin towns: Podgorica, Danilovgrad, Niksic, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Budva, Mojkovac, Ulcinj, Bijelo Polje, Kolasin and Berane.
During 90 minutes of interactive work with CEMI’s trainers, the students learnt about the concept and definition of corruption, examples of corruption in education, its causes and consequences, goals, and victims of corruption. Representatives of the Directorate presented the measures the Government undertaken to combat corruption. On that occasion, the Anti-corruption guide for secondary school was promoted and distributed. This brochure, prepared with the financial support of the Foundation Open Society Institute and expertise of the Bureau for Education, is adapted with its content and design to the secondary school age and introduces the criminal offences of corruption, the most common examples of corruptive behaviour in education, its negative consequences and the need to combat it.
Within the same project, a representative of the Directorate held a lecture for secondary school teachers on the Innovated Action plan for implementation of the Programme for the fight against corruption and organised crime, which provides for an active involvement of general public, civil society and media in its effective implementation.
