The “Virtual Academy for Combating Corruption” electronic platform is an electronic learning platform aimed at the continuous improvement of the knowledge of the population and civil servants in the field of combating corruption.

The “Virtual Academy for Combating Corruption” electronic platform was introduced by Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PP-228 of 21 June 2024 “On measures to introduce a system of continuous improvement of the knowledge of the population and civil servants in the field of combating corruption”. In addition, the procedure for organising the training of civil servants and the population in the Virtual Academy was approved by the resolution of the Anti-Corruption Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Prosecutor General’s Office “On approval of the regulation on the procedure for organising training on the ‘Virtual Academy for Combating Corruption’ electronic platform” [registered by the Ministry of Justice on 30 October 2024, registration number 3565].

The organisation and conduct of educational activity in the Virtual Academy is carried out by the Anti-Corruption Agency and the Law Enforcement Academy.

Training in the Virtual Academy is organised through basic and special training courses in the field of combating corruption.

To access special courses, learners are given the opportunity to study on the special training courses of the Virtual Academy by registering through the single identification system (One ID) after the client organisation has paid in full the cost of training specified in the contract. In addition, civil servants may log in using the special passwords and logins prepared by the Academy.

Special training courses organised for civil servants are delivered through independent mastering of the main areas of compliance with professional ethics, resolving conflicts of interest and combating corruption. In the timetable, asynchronous sessions and the interim assessment are scheduled at 2 hours per day. In asynchronous sessions learners independently master the core and supplementary electronic learning materials hosted in the Virtual Academy and complete assessments to check the knowledge gained on the topics.

Professional development in the field of combating corruption on the special training courses of the Virtual Academy is mandatory for civil servants and voluntary for other groups. Training of persons who are not civil servants on special training courses is carried out on a voluntary basis.

Special courses based on advanced curricula are held for employees of internal anti-corruption control units and for employees holding civil service positions with high corruption risks.

Civil servants who are required to study in the Virtual Academy include managerial employees carrying out their activities in state bodies and organisations under an employment contract, or in elected or appointed positions.

The activity of a tutor (teacher-consultant) in the Virtual Academy is carried out by the academic staff and employees of the Academy. Specialists of state bodies and organisations may also act as tutors (teacher-consultants). A tutor is a responsible employee who coordinates and guides the activity of learners on the relevant learning module of basic and special training courses, provides methodological support and performs the functions of developing teaching and learning materials.

A civil servant takes the training course within three months after recruitment. When a civil servant studies in the form of professional development, the frequency of study is at least once every three years.

Monitoring of the quality organisation of the learning process in the Virtual Academy is carried out by the Anti-Corruption Agency. In addition, the Academy’s special units carry out internal monitoring.

Entry, current, interim and final types of assessment are held on special training courses. The assessment of learners’ knowledge in the current, interim and final types of assessment is carried out in the form of various interactive tests, problem situations and other assignments, as well as tests. The entry assessment is used to compare its results with the results of the final assessment and is not taken into account in the overall calculation of assessments.

The main objectives of the system of continuous improvement of the knowledge of the population and civil servants in the field of combating corruption are as follows: - raising the legal awareness and legal culture of the population and civil servants; - forming legal immunity to corruption in society; - instilling the values of honesty in the minds of the young generation; - continuously improving the knowledge, skills and competencies of employees responsible for combating corruption and those holding civil service positions with high corruption risks; - assessing the knowledge of civil servants in the field of combating corruption.

Basic training courses are training courses on combating corruption and its prevention that are hosted in the Virtual Academy and open to all learners. Basic training courses are free for all learners and may be used at any time and without limitation. Basic training courses are delivered without interrupting work, in asynchronous mode, through independent remote mastering of electronic learning resources. Learning is organised in a form aimed at raising learners’ legal awareness and culture by explaining the concept of corruption, its history and consequences, and matters of combating and preventing it, as well as at forming legal immunity to corruption in society. Basic training courses are delivered through news items, problem situations and their solutions, questions and answers, and various tests that can be completed within a few minutes.

In accordance with paragraph 5 of Presidential Resolution No. PP-228 of 21.06.2024, training on basic training courses in the Virtual Academy is organised free of charge for all users, while professional development on special training courses is carried out under a payment contract. Persons who do not fall into the category of civil servants may visit the official website of the Virtual Academy and submit an application to study in order to register for special courses.
