DCEC uncovers thriving corruption in education

Responding to Mmegi enquiries on the matter recently, the watchdog’s spokesperson, Nlayidzi Gambule said the instances uncovered in the sector were of concern. “We know that corruption is alive within the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and this is a concern to the DCEC,” he said. Receiving the lion’s share of the recurrent budget annually, the Ministry has become a honey pot for corruption and similar practices in the system. This year, the Ministry was allocated P11.2 billion.
