All higher education institutions in the country must prevent corruption

Abai KazNPU is committed to combating and preventing corruption. The opening of the Parasat centre at the university has further strengthened anti-corruption activities.

From the very beginning, Parasat Centre has been working on the development and implementation of an anti-corruption management system in accordance with international standards ISO-37001-2016. At the Centre`s initiative, the university developed and approved an anticorruption programme. A declaration on compliance with anti-corruption standards, conflicts of interest and anti-corruption policy and other documents have been adopted.

As a result, Eurosert International (Belgrade) conducted a certification audit and issued a certificate of compliance of the anti-corruption management system of Abai KazNPU with the requirements of ISO 37001-2016.

In this regard, the University and the Republican Project Office of Sanaly Urpak in Almaty held a seminar with the rectors of the city`s universities on the implementation of the anti-corruption management system in universities.
