The regulations must be developed basedon opinions of all teaching and managing staff at the school, approved by theSchool Board and made public.
Participantsshared the view that it’s necessary to establish School Boards at educationalinstitutions to effectively implement the democratic regulations.
However,only 16 out of 38 universities under the MoET have established their SchoolBoards. The structure of those boards is not really appropriate, with thefunctions and tasks of the Board’s Chairman, the Dean and the Secretary of theschool’s Party Committee overlapping.
