Today we are going to be talking about the relationships between Corruption and Education For All. We will begin by giving a brief overview of corruption, discussing its various forms and types. Then we will discuss the devastating effects of corruption on development and how it relates to education for all. Finally, we will discuss the “Catch 22” of Education and Corruption: paralleling the need for education to combat corruption, but the ironically corrupt nature of educational institutions.
Ask the class what they think corruption is and write their answers on the board.
