Welcome to this initiative.


Corruption is a topic that everyone wants to talk about. How corrupt our countries are, how politicians create always a new way to go against the law, how new statistics measure the level of corruption in the public and the private sector and also, how the NGOs are promoting new ideas to fight against this international phenomenon. However, there's a topic that scholars, politicians and media are not been paying carefully attention to: what is the relationship between education and corruption? Latin american, African and middle eastern countries with a high rate in every corruption index also perform badly  in PISA, there is a relationship between those factors? countries are more corrupted because people are not well educated or, oppositely people are not well educated because there is a corrupt government that does not  invest properly in education?

This blog will create a new way of thinking about it. Helped by lawyers, international professionals and political scientists, educating against corruption would contribute in the fight against this international phenomenon that affects all of our societies.
