Governance in education: transparency and accountability matters
(2023) Hallak, Jacques; Polsson, Muriel
Corruption in the education sector can take multiple forms: from the violation of public tendering procedures to the diversion of money intended for the school, the payment of bribes for school or university admission, or lack of objectivity in the process of teacher management. This article identifies six main challenges to address this issue, namely, how to promote a sustained leadership; how to define adequate regulatory mechanisms; hoq to streamline the channeling of funds: how to ensure that information is accurate and available; how to organize independent monitoring; and how to develop avenues for social participation. It concludes on the need to develop comprehensive strategies, based on the three major strategic axes, i.e.creating and maintaining of regulatory systems; strengthening management capacities, and enhancing ownership of the management process.
