The document discusses corruption in the education system. It notes that corruption can take many forms including teacher absenteeism, ghost teachers, selling of exam information, and embezzlement of school resources. This corruption undermines the goals of ensuring all children complete primary education and leads to low quality teaching, poor student achievement, and deepened inequality. Simply increasing controls may not be effective and decentralization could create new opportunities for local corruption. A holistic approach is needed that addresses corruption in education alongside more effective prosecution across all levels of government.
