The Ministry of Education, in its official response, noted that teachers cannot be forced to participate in labor actions. The agency emphasized that this contradicts current legislation.
Furthermore, there is information that some local authorities are abusing their position by forcing educators to clean up areas and perform other tasks.
In response to this situation, Bekeshev insists on the complete cessation of Saturday clean-up days. He argues that maintaining cleanliness should be a continuous process, and the responsibility for litter should lie with the offenders, not with budget sector employees.
The Ministry of Education once again emphasized that no directives have been issued regarding the forced involvement of teachers in Saturday clean-up days, and such practices are considered unacceptable.
