45,000 Parents of Schoolchildren Held Accountable Since February 2024
The Senate recently approved a new law aimed at strengthening the prevention of juvenile delinquency and enhancing the role of inspector-psychologists in schools. This law, titled “On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Responsibility in Connection with the Improvement of the System of Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency,” was reviewed during the third plenary session of the Senate.
The focus of this law is to ensure the legality of the National Guard’s inspector-psychologists in schools, with a specific emphasis on improving the psychological environment and preventing juvenile delinquency. It also aims to increase parental involvement in safeguarding children’s rights and legal interests. The adoption of this law is expected to enhance the National Guard’s ability to protect children more effectively.
During the session, it was highlighted that since February of last year, National Guard inspector-psychologists have identified 44,450 violations under Article 47, Part 1 of the Administrative Liability Code, which pertains to parents failing to fulfill their duties in the education and upbringing of children. In response to these violations, administrative penalties were applied, and nearly 175,000 warning letters were issued to parents who were not sending their children to school.
Under Article 47, Part 1 of the Administrative Liability Code, fines ranging from 1 to 5 times the base calculation unit can be imposed for such violations. After thorough discussion, the senators approved the law, signaling a commitment to strengthening the protection of children’s rights and improving the overall well-being of young people in the country.
