However, despite the implemented measures, the monitoring of social networks and chat rooms of students showed that potential corruption facts still exist, the level and frequency of complaints and appeals are not reduced. It was reported that during the inspection of applications and complaints, as a result of non-compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 37001-2016 and the University Ethics Rules, the Head of the Military Department R.O. Rakyshev and two senior lecturers of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology were dismissed. K.T.
