  1. There is lack of interaction between the various institutions for the purpose of providing medical information and immunization status data on children missing their medical records on admission. There are no rules in place on storing medical documents; Most students exhibit low health awareness and poor health habits. They purchase and smoke tobacco products without restrictions and appear unkempt. The NPM recommends that additional efforts be made by the institutions’ administrations to change this state of affairs. ‘NIKOLA VAPTSAROV’ CBS, TOWN OF ZAVET, RAZGRAD PROVINCE 1.1. Physical Environment and Equipment At the time of the NPM visit to the Correctional Boarding School (CBS) in the town of Zavet, Razgrad province, there were twenty-five boys on the school’s roster. Five of them had escaped and were on the loose, one was listed on the national wanted persons system, and another one had never reported to the school. The CBS is housed across two buildings. One of them is the dormitory and the other one houses the classrooms, the school administration, the kitchen, and the refectory. At the time of the inspection, repairs to the sports playground were underway. The NPM team found out that they were carried out by the boarding school residents. The kitchen and the refectory were in a poor state of repair. They were cold, cheerless, and uninviting. The appliances were outdated and worn out. As regards food, the NPM team did not receive any complaints about its quantity or quality. As was evident from the weekly menu lists, the calorific value of the food was sufficient, but the meals were unvaried and the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and dairy products was insufficient. The buildings and the facilities were in bad condition. The furniture in all children’s rooms was old and dilapidated. There were not enough wardrobe closets and storage cabinets for personal items. The rooms felt cold and the children shared that the central heating was on for just a few hours a day. Every bedroom contained private sanitary facilities but running hot water was unheard of. Bathtime is a once-a-week affair. There are CCTV cameras installed in the corridors, but no outdoor security arrangements. The NPM could not avoid a negative assessment of the presence of surveillance cameras in the boys’ bedrooms. According to the explanation of the staff, the reason for installing cameras was to prevent or detect students stealing from other students, which, allegedly, was a daily occurrence. The NPM is of the opinion that the installation of surveillance cameras in the bedrooms, coupled with the deficiency of wardrobe closets and personal item cabinets, constitutes a violation of the children’s right to privacy and an invasion of their personal space. It is recommended that the CCTV cameras be removed from the bedrooms. 1.2. Education and Training The CBS in the town of Zavet provides educational service to the children there from grade 2 through grade 8. A major issue, established by the NPM, is the fact that all incoming children and adolescents hold certificates of completion of a certain grade of primary or secondary school, even though they are in reality illiterate. 50
