Ethics and corruption in education: A capacity building programme

Improving transparency and accountability in education is a precondition to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, an education sector free of corruption is imperative to the promotion of a culture of ethics.
These realities prompted IIEP to launch in 2001 a comprehensive programme on Ethics and Corruption in Education, which combines the Institute’s three main activities: research, training, and technical assistance. This programme is aimed at a wide public: education decision-makers, managers and planners, members of development agencies, and civil society representatives.

The objectives of the programme are threefold:

1. To produce new knowledge and facilitate the exchange of successful experiences.
2. To strengthen national capacities in the use of diagnostic tools and strategies to fight corruption.
3. To promote policy dialogue on transparency issues in the education sector.

This brochure aims to give an idea of the work we do under these three major objectives.
