Keywords:
corruption and educationAbstract
This paper discussed the impact of corruption on education in Nigeria. Secondary data were used in the paper. The data were collected from print and online publications. The paper concluded that corruption has affected educational development in Nigeria. Specifically, the paper identified shortage of infrastructural facilities, inadequate professional teachers, shortage of instructional materials, shortage of funds, poor quality of education and reduction in level of capacity training programmes for teachers as some of the impact of corruption on education in Nigeria. The paper recommended the use of artificial intelligence to curtail corrupt practices in the administration of education in Nigeria as well as regular auditing of ministry of education, commissions and agencies should be done to check financial corruption within the system. There should be a special court for corruption and there is the need to overhaul the judicial system in Nigeria in such a way that there will be quick dispensation of justice in corruption cases and corrupt individuals should be made to face the law. There should be enactment and enforcement of corruption laws. Anti-corruption agencies should regularly monitor the activities of the commissions, agencies and ministry of education.
