Uzbekistan: Teachers are making profits at the expense of parents of schoolchildren

Since the beginning of the cotton campaign in Uzbekistan some unscrupulous teachers began to divide students into two camps.

– In the beginning of this academic year, principals and teachers of some Uzbek schools began inviting schoolchildren’s parents for individual talks and tell them “the cotton campaign is starting soon, if you have the opportunity to leave your child at home, then let’s talk it over.” Thus, they demand a bribe from them. If the family can afford it, parents will be able to save their child this season from picking cotton and anguishes children face in the cotton fields. But if parents cannot afford it, then the child is included in the so-called list of “not being able to pay”, and instead of going to school, will have to spend time in cotton fields until tale fall, – says Davlatoy Murodova, resident of Andijan.
