Inspection Findings and Program Deficiencies
Most deficiencies uncovered during the oversight process were classified as minor or of moderate severity. Significant violations appeared in roughly one in five inspections, meaning authorities did not ban most programs. Instead, institutions faced requirements to rectify identified deficiencies and bring training in line with established rules.
Following the inspections, educational institutions received 135 recommendations aimed at improving the quality of their educational processes.
Regulatory Support and Industry Oversight
Alongside its inspection work, the agency consulted educational organizations on applying regulatory acts and informed the State Employment Agency about shifts in regulation. Officials note that these checks form part of a systematic effort to elevate adult education standards amid rising demand for upskilling and professional retraining programs.
