Zero Corruption Campaign (ZCC), a civil society organisation that focuses on promoting integrity, accountability, and transparency in the services of public sector institutions, has warned the country’s school authorities to stop collecting money as additional fees for students pursuing their education in 2022/2023. The ZCC said such practices were tantamount to corruption and a deliberate attempt to undermine quality free school education.

In this video produced by UNESCO-IIEP, Muriel Poisson explains what open school data is and how it is evolving, as presented in the book "Open School Data: What Planners Need to Know» and shares her practical conclusions.

Public money must be protected from fraud and corruption, or we will all suffer the consequences. An integrity pact could help guarantee the quality of public services, through an agreement in which government, business and civil society commit to working together.
 

An integrity pact is a collaborative mechanism through which public entities, civil society and other relevant parties commit to enhance transparency and accountability in a public procurement process. Acting as an independent monitor, a civil society organization ensures that applicable regulation is respected, and corruption risks are addressed.

An integrity pact can ensure the protection of the public interest and avoid making profit for an individual in power. It means agreements where government, companies, and civil society commit to work together. An integrity pact ensures that a contract is awarded according to the law, and to the people's need.
