In loco parentis 4
Mums, skolotājiem, jāpatur prātā, ka mums uzticētie bērni ir jo īpaši dārgi, jo tie nav mūsu, un viņu vecākiem ir tiesības sagaidīt, ka darīsim visu iespējamo, lai šie bērni būtu drošībā. Read

Korupcijas uztveres indekss 2005
KUI ir analītisks indekss, kura rezultāti 2005. gadā iegūti apkopojot desmit neatkarīgu institūciju 16 aptaujas. Transparency International sastāda KUI jau kopš 1995. gada, un tas sarindo valstis augošā secībā atkarībā no tā, cik lielā mērā valstī tiek uzskatīts, ka korupcija ir izplatīta ierēdniecībā un politikā. Aptaujās ir apkopoti plašākas sabiedrības, uzņēmēju un analītiķu sniegtie atzinumi. Valstīs, kas iekļautas rangu tabulā, ir notikušas vismaz trīs aptaujas. Latvijas novērtējuma veidošanā 2005. gada indeksā izmantotas septiņas aptaujas. 2005. gadā Latvija saņēmusi 4,2 punktu vērtējumu pēc 10 ballu skalas, kas ir uzlabojums par 0,2 punktiem salīdzinājumā ar 2004. gadu.
