Topic guide: corruption in education services

Topic guides are a series of publications developed by the Anti-Corruption Helpdesk on key corruption and anti-corruption issues. They provide an overview of the current anti-corruption debate and a list of the most up to date and relevant studies and resources on a given topic. Each part of this topic guide provides an overview of corruption challenges and major approaches to fight corruption in the delivery of education services, and a compilation of the most up to date and relevant studies and resources on the topic. It considers the challenges involved in both service provision and infrastructure provision as key components of public service delivery. Some issues covered, although cutting across the whole public sector, are particularly relevant to service delivery (for example, management of human resources and decentralisation).
