For civil servants and top managers must create a list of countries where they can send their children to study, says first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee for security and combating corruption Dmitry Savelyev. He said this in an interview with “Tape.ru” on Monday, November 14.
According to the parliamentarian, one should consider what attitude Russia takes the leadership of a state. “There is near-abroad, there are former CIS countries, and there are countries “Big twenty”. Well, about countries that sanctions have imposed, there is nothing to say,” said Savelyev.
At the same time, he stressed that “there are friendly countries and there are countries with which we have exchange students.”
First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on education and science Oleg Smolin, in turn, noted that the potential ban on children’s education officials abroad should not touch programs for the teaching exchange. “You can year to go quietly to learn the language and return to take exams,” explained Smolin.
Earlier on Monday, state Duma Deputy Valery Rashkin introduced in the lower house of Parliament draft amendments to the law “On combating corruption”, which prohibits civil servants down to the municipal level to send their children to study abroad.
