We've just published a new e-book, based largely on our schools campaign, which started at the beginning of the 2013 academic year.
Monitoring of schools was a major focus for us last year – through 2012, from our launch in January up to the beginning of the schools campaign we had received more than 60 reports of possible corruption in schools, mostly involving the embezzlement of funds by principals and administrators, corruption in procurement processes and maladministration by school governing bodies.
In this publication we share with you what we learned along the way in terms of those issues – we've included our most useful articles and helpful information to help you, as a reponsible parent, address areas of concern at your child's school. Now that the new school year is under way, make sure you don't get caught out by unscrupulous education officials.
Make 2014 the year you take action against corruption!
Tackling corruption in schools
One of our big concerns is the National School Feeding Programme, and it features strongly in our e-book.
You’ll also learn about the roles of principals and governing bodies, how no-fees schools work, how schools are categorised for government funding, and how procurement in schools should work.
At the end we’ll give you a set of easy-to-follow tools to guide you in asking the right questions, addressing the right issues, and holding the right people accountable.
Download the e-book. and distribute it throughout your community.
