Education is a fundamental human right and a major driver of human and economic development. Integrity in research underpins knowledge generation and evidence based policy-making. Together education and research shape the societies in which we live. Corruption and poor governance are acknowledged major impediments to realizing the right to education, and to reaching the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) is Transparency International's flagship publication, bringing the expertise of the anti-corruption movement to bear on a specific corruption issue or sector. The Global Corruption Report on education and research consists of more than fifty articles commissioned from experts in the fields of corruption and education, from universities, think-tanks, business, civil society and international organisations. The Global Corruption Report on education and academic research will provide essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in the sector and highlight the significant work that has already been done in the field to improve governance and educational outcomes. This will be an opportunity to pull together cutting edge knowledge on lessons learnt, innovative tools and solutions that exist in order to fight corruption in the education sector.
