The Guardian: Corruption rife in world’s schools and universities

Bribery and graft in schools and universities is seriously undermining education systems worldwide and costing governments billions of dollars, according to a new report funded by Unesco.

The report, “Corrupt schools, corrupt universities: What can be done?”, by Unesco’s international institute for educational planning into ethics and corruption, says education is plagued by rigged calls for tender, embezzlement, illegal registration fees and academic fraud, among other corrupt practices.
