39 PAGES (6836 WORDS) Public Administration Report

ABSTRACT

The research on corruption as a correlate of effectiveness in the education sector was

done in Katoogo Parish, Nama Sub County Mukono district. The main issue was to find out manifestations of corruption, causes of corruption in the education sector or schools for that matter and the relationship between corruption and

the effectiveness of the education sector.

The participants in the research were teachers who were administered questionnaires

to and the data was analysed using frequency distributions and percentages. The main

findings were that corruption existed in Katoogo parish, Mukono district due to a

number of reasons and that there is actually a relationship between corruption and

effectiveness in the education sectors. In the research, eradication of corruption can be

done by increasing teacher salaries for a bigger take home pay, reporting of corruption

cases and publicizing of the money received from government so as to allow

transparency.
