There was noise about the reduction of the base grade to 40 points in each individual subject and 50 base points in the overall assessment (from the announced 60%) in the competition, which was completed for filling vacancies at AADE. The amendment was made to the provisions of the draft law “Innovation system in the public sector – Regulations on the General Secretariat of Personnel in the Public Sector”.

The decision to cut was made because in the competition to fill 822 positions in AADE, out of 11,500 participants, only 257 wrote well enough to be hired to fill their respective positions, and 565 positions remain vacant.

During the consultations on the draft law, 492 comments were submitted already during the first three days, several of which characterize the regulation as “unfair”, and the reduction of the criteria “unfair”, as this is done after the competition. However, some of those who submitted a comment agree, while as “K” also wrote 27.1many participants called for changes in conditions given the low success rate.

Sources in the Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasize that even taking into account this particular amendment, 770 people are expected to be hired, so up to 120 positions will remain vacant, which will be included in the next ASEP Writing Competition which is already organized for March. The provisions of the bill establish for the first time a national competition for the development of prototypes and innovations in the state and establish awards for employees or groups of employees who submit proposals to improve the functioning of their department and public administration as a whole.
