Moldova's Constitutional Court has stated as constitutional a governmental decision of 2001, which obliges the graduates having received scholarships from the government to work 3 years where the state orders them, Info-Prim Neo reports. The decision was checked for constitutionality on June 4 at the request of the Supreme Court of Justice. The notification is based upon a suit in which a policeman was asked to pay for his education studies, after it turned out he had not worked as ordered by the government. The Supreme Court considers the decision to run counter the Moldovan law and Constitution and international treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “Since a person studies on the state's account, he should also have certain commitments. Only in this part of Europe, it happens that after a person signs a contract, being aware of everything written in there, he later looks for quibbles to shirk from living up to his duties,” said deputy minister for Justice Nicolae Esanu, the Government's representative at the Constitutional Court. “The situation is that 54%-55% of the graduates are distributed jobs. It would be ideal if the state could offer jobs to all of them,” said Galina Bulat, a deputy minister for Education. The Constitutional Court's decision is final and valid since being adopted.
