Description

This publication draws conclusions from six years of research conducted by the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO) in the area of ethics and corruption in education. It refers to the experiences of over 60 countries, on the basis of information collected in partnership with ministries, development agencies and national research institutions. The book first defines the key concepts of corruption, transparency, accountability and ethics, then identifies major opportunities for corruption within the education sector. It describes tools for assessing corruption problems - from perception to tracking surveys, and draws lessons from strategies experimented worldwide to improve transparency and accountability. Finally, it lists 12 recommendations aimed at policy-makers and educational managers.--Publisher's description.
