Big Brother and appointing those responsible for providing information

Order No.114 from the Department of Education of the Sviatoshynsk District Administration in Kyiv is difficult to read without Orwell’s “1984” going through ones mind

Order No.114 from the Department of Education of the Sviatoshynsk District Administration in Kyiv is difficult to read without Orwell’s “1984” going through ones mind.  The Order from 22 April this year of the 22.04.2010 “On assigning those responsible for providing information” establishes people in each educational institution responsible for “providing information regarding the city authorities, enhancing the quality of information and analytical material on socio-political and highly publicized events in the city and districts”. The motive for the issue of this order is simple: “increasing the attention of the President’s Administration leadership to information regarding the city authorities”, and this information will be sent to the department of internal policy of the State administration

It is difficult to understand what information is expected to interest the President’s Administration, and even harder to understand what relation the President’s Administration has to education workers. And what exactly is to be achieved by education workers being obliged to inform on every step or utterance by colleagues, students or their parents?

It is entirely unclear how such a thing could be possible in a democratic country.

Yet from the Order it is clear that there are to be no hiccups in the provision of information, and that this is no recommendation but an order.

One has the impression that the authorities are convinced of the acceptability of a model of State governance under which the State has the right to be fully present in all spheres of public life. We would note that such a regime is totalitarian. Therefore such a step even at local level can be considered an attempt against the constitutional system of Ukraine and against the rule of law proclaimed by the Constitution, as well as of the rights of individual citizens. This includes the right to freely express their views without fear of punishment if they criticize government policy.
