person takes place (assignment of the identity number), without the issuance of identity documents from the National Passport System123. Subsequently, the person is to repeatedly address the territorial subdivisions of the Civil Status Documents Service within the Public Services Agency in order to prepare the birth certificate, but in this case with the registration of the identification number in the birth certificate. The lack of a clear mechanism, the bureaucratization and delay of the the process of providing services by the PSA, favors the emergence of corrupt schemes in the activity of the territorial subdivisions of the Public Services Agency124. Right to education The People's Advocate appreciates the efforts of the state related to ensuring the functioning of the schools with teaching in Latin script in the Transnistrian region, which is subordinated to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research of the Republic of Moldova. In 2019, within the program of reintegration activities of the country, approved by Government Decision no. 212/2019125, these educational institutions were allocated a single aid amounting to 800 thousand MDL and 35 projects were implemented (15 million MDL). However, the cases of violation of the provisions of the Protocol Decision on the Functioning of Moldovan schools with teaching based on Latin script 126 from 25.11.2017 127 by the force structures subordinated to the de facto authorities on the left bank of the Dniester cannot be overlooked.128 It is necessary to mention that the State's efforts aimed at the proper functioning of Moldovan schools with teaching based on Latin script on the left bank of the Dniester and Bender municipality have contributed to increasing the number of students in these educational institutions (2017-1317 students, 2018-1396 students, 2019 - 1481 students). At the same time, it is an important step to recognize the diplomas issued by the educational institutions from the Eastern districts of the Republic of Moldova and the municipality of Bender. 123 https://www.legis.md/cautare/getResults?doc_id=118956&lang=ro https://www.jurnaltv.md/news/08d9eee7157e5b74/perchezitii-la-serviciul-stare-civila-varnita-sefa-institutiei-si-altetrei-persoane-retinute-pentru-corupere-pasiva.html 125 https://www.legis.md/cautare/getResults?doc_id=113550&lang=ro 126 https://gov.md/sites/default/files/apel.pdf 127 https://gov.md/sites/default/files/2017_11_25_protokolnoe_reshenie_o_funkcionirovanii_moldavskih_shkol.pdf 128 https://agora.md/stiri/57704/sarbatoare--dar-nu-pentru-toti-elevii-scolilor-romanesti-din-stanga-nistru-nu-au-avutvoie-sa-intoneze-imnului-de-stat 124 69
