Abstract

This article is devoted to the topical issue of improving the fight against corruption in the education system of Uzbekistan. The article’s aim is to analyze the experience accumulated by the USA and Canada in the fight against corruption in the education system in order to study the possibilities of applying the most successful practices of these states in Uzbekistan. The research methods were the following: analysis of scientific literature and legal acts, comparative legal analysis, induction, deduction and forecasting. The article’s author comes to the conclusion that in the United States it is useful for Uzbekistan to adopt the experience of protecting citizens and civil servants when they apply to the competent authorities about corruption manifestations that they become aware of or information about which they need to verify, while simultaneously protecting the leadership of all organizations from deliberate misinformation on the part of persons making relevant statements. In Canada, it is useful for Uzbekistan to learn from the experience of the widespread implementation of ethical codes for educators, however, it is necessary to exclude excessive legislative detailing of ethical codes so that they are not too difficult to understand and do not require an additional serious system of training staff and consulting officials.
