ANNEX 8: PRESENTATIONS FROM THE CLOSING SESSION
Report from Working Session on Prosecution of Foreign Bribery
Mr. Dmytro Kotliar, Project Manager, OECD Anti-Corruption Division
This Working Session was dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of foreign bribery
cases. Its goal was to raise awareness in the region about this type of corruption offences and
provide examples of successful prosecutions of bribery of foreign public officials as required
by the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and other international instruments.
We‟ve heard presentations of case-studies from Germany (the Siemens case), USA, Romania
(the Radet case), Slovenia and Brazil, as well as contributions from Hungary, Armenia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia.
It was noted that tackling of foreign bribery cases (i.e. when a natural or legal person bribes a
public official of the foreign state) is necessary to level the global playing field of trade and
other business operations and to ensure fair, competitive markets.
The key-note presentations highlighted the challenges that prosecution of foreign bribery
poses for the law enforcement authorities and main procedural stages and tools employed to
effectively investigate and prosecute such crimes.
In addition to the usual problems of investigating corruption cases (secret nature, agreement
of sides of the corrupt deal, reliance on direct evidence of crime), the investigation of bribery
of foreign public officials is complicated by its transnational character, use of intermediaries,
companies‟ slash funds, shell companies, trusts, etc.
It was stressed that complexity of foreign bribery prosecutions requires employment of
diverse instruments starting from the stage of case identification to recovery of stolen assets.
For identification of cases various sources can be used: press articles, denunciations,
spontaneous mutual legal assistance information, suspicious transactions reports obtained
from the FIU, whistle-blowing, etc. Case-studies also showed examples of evidence
gathering, requesting and providing mutual legal assistance (obtaining records, conducting
searches and interrogations abroad, transfer of criminal proceedings, etc.), plea bargaining,
use of civil forfeiture and asset recovery in foreign bribery cases.
A separate presentation was dedicated to the emerging practice of joint investigative teams
(JITs) as an effective tool to investigate transnational bribery. EU and Council of Europe
legal instruments provide basis for creating JITs, which allow law enforcers to efficiently
work in one team and save time necessary for exchange of formal MLA documents.

Working Session 1 has also raised two important issues with regard to the prosecution of
foreign bribery, namely the importance of the corporate liability and the role of the
specialised institutions/ law enforcement officers.
Liability of legal persons proved to be an effective deterrent of foreign bribery. Not only does
it allow punishing corporations along with natural offenders, but it also resulted in the change
of corporate behaviour. Under pressure from vigorous criminal prosecution, and sometimes
as a result of negotiations with the prosecuting authority, companies are introducing robust
compliance programmes and compliance officers, whistle-blower protection, offices of
ombudspersons. This changes the corporate culture (ethics) of doing business.
Successful prosecution of foreign bribery cases often requires specialised investigators and
prosecutors who have necessary resources and training to deal with such complicated cases.
When a specialised law enforcement institution is in charge of investigating/prosecuting
cases of bribery of foreign public officials, it should comply with a set of international
standards, including independence and accountability, adequate powers and resources,
training of the staff.

Working Session on Corruption in Public Education
“Summary of discussion and next steps”
Mr. Pasi Sahlberg, European Training Foundation
Introduction
Any form of unethical practice is particularly harmful when it happens in education. Indeed,
it destroys the very purpose of education. Students who learn that cheating in exams is the
easiest way to succeed have missed learning the ethical foundation of education and are
therefore more likely to break that code of ethics later in their lives. Teachers who accept
bribery send a wrong message not only to those involved but also to those who are not.
Schools that raise students‟ grades or universities that issue diplomas without appropriate
merits of their students jeopardize their own reputation and also put the professional future of
their alumni at risk. Education authorities who use the money and time meant for teaching
and learning for their private interests de-moralize their communities and harm the reputation
of public education. Finally, an education system that remains silent about all these
wrongdoings of their leaders and servants casts a dark shadow over an entire society. It
signals with its silence that, in the end, it is money, not mind that counts. In other words,
contrary to many other sectors where impact of corruption is primarily financial, in education
sector its negative consequences are first and foremost moral and social. This is one reason
why it is easier to remain silent about unethical behaviours in education: moral damage is
much more difficult to quantify than monetary costs.
There are two aspects that are important when corruption in public education is discussed:
It is a global phenomenon that is not limited to higher education only, and although it has
spread widely it is not the same in different parts of the world. It is telling that in some parts
of the world people believe that education system is infected by different forms of corruption
almost as much as police that is a relevant public sector benchmark (figure 1).

regions of the world in 2007 (Transparency International, 2007)
Three
caveats
normally
emerge when
INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION CONFERENCE, ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN, 16-18 SEPTEMBER 2009
236
education corruption is discussed in-depth. First, it is sometimes difficult to determine exactly
what corruption means in different situations or countries. Appointment of staff in the
ministries or schools, approval and selection of textbooks, and fee-based private tutoring to
complement teaching in public schools are examples of issues where the line between
appropriate and unethical behaviors is sometimes unclear. Sexual harassment, for example,
may not be an issue in one country but is the most serious kind of education corruption in the
other.
Second, corruption in education is difficult to verify because – in most cases – all those
involved are also somehow beneficiaries. Students or parents who pay bribes to teachers
benefit from higher marks and secured entry to a respected faculty. Teachers and professors
who take bribes top up their salaries. School principals and Deans are often part of the profit-
making chain. Therefore, it is in the best interest of all to keep wrongdoing a secret.
Third, corruption is closely linked to, and a consequence of, poor governance, the absence
of transparency and lack of mutual trust within society as a whole. A common excuse for
corrupt practices and procedures in countries of weak governance is that “this is the way we
do things here”, in other words, it is part of the culture.
The value of degrees and diplomas is gradually decreasing. Earlier, a certificate indicating
that the holder possessed Ph.D. degree guaranteed a well-paid job. It may still be so but may
not be anymore in the future. UNESCO estimates that within the next two decades the
number of higher education degrees will exceed the number of degrees issued until now in
history. It means that value of university degrees risks being de-valued. On the other hand,
expected competences that people need in and out of work in a knowledge society are more
related to personality, social skills, creativity and ability to learn. Most of these human
qualities are currently beyond what is included in students‟ report cards or university
certificates. These issues alone mean that real learning is becoming much more important
than issued grades or diplomas. Collateral damage caused by falsification of students‟ true
merits will be even more harmful in the future knowledge societies than many expect today.
The session
It is worthy of note that this is the first time in the history of CAN conferences that education
has been given its own specific session. It reflects the raising concern among nations and the
OECD as well of prevalence and sometimes even brutal nature of unethical conduct within
education systems. It is becoming clear that whereas public education tries hard to contribute
to human capital development, prevalent corruption in education system is doing quite the
opposite. Schools that are asked to raise the bar of intellectual achievements face a network
of misbehaviors that is pulling the bar lower. Although the purpose of this session was not to
discuss the conceptual aspects of education corruption, it is useful first to agree what we
mean by corruption in public education.
One way to approach the definition is to see it through four elements. Public education can
be corrupted:
- through its educational functions; - through supply of goods and services; - through professional misconduct of its leaders and staff; and - in treatment of taxation and property.
Thus, corruption in public education is not limited to selling exam papers or mis-procurement
of educational goods. In highly corrupted contexts corruption is a network of all four
INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION CONFERENCE, ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN, 16-18 SEPTEMBER 2009
237
elements which makes the issue very difficult to tackle – or even talk about. The four
presentations in this session focused primarily on corruption in higher education it should not
be understood that this would be the whole story. Education corruption has a different face
depending on the context. In Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, sexual violence against girl
pupils and female students is one of the most common and least known forms of unethical
behaviour in many education systems.
Dr. Jamil Salmi (World Bank) presented numerous examples of unethical and corrupted
practices in different parts of the world. Significance of his presentation is that his
conclusions rest on evidence through surveys, press resources, informal informants, web sites
and interviews. Among his conclusions Dr. Salmi presented a set of four measures that have
proved to be helpful in reducing unethical behaviours in education. These measures are:
prevention, measures of detecting and monitoring, punitive measures, and multiple purpose
measures. Dr. Salmi also called for more and better information about the prevalence of
unethical behaviors and systematic assessments and reviews of education systems and their
institutions.
Kyrgystan is an example of Former Soviet Union republics that has given fight against
corruption a special status in governmental reforms. Mr. Sadir Zhaparov (Director, National
Anti-corruption Agency, Kyrgyzstan) explained the brief history of the main anti-corruption
regulations and emphasized the systematic nature of this work. He then gave a rapid account
of efforts to expand the anti-corruption agenda into education. Together with some alarming
reported incidences of education corruption he also told about innovative interventions to
schools, such as Anti-corruption Day and specific campaigns to sensitize students about the
need to stop corruption.
The role of the non-governmental sector in enhancing governance and improving
transparency is indispensible. Ms. Laura Stefan (Director, Romanian Academic Society)
presented a review of integrity of 42 Romanian universities. The purpose of this review was
to rank these universities using evaluation criteria that focused on four aspects:
administration, academics, democratic governance and financing. The findings of this review
were that there are serious flaws in running public universities in Romania. But as a
consequence of this „mirror‟ universities are beginning to enhance the information that they
post in their websites and take a more professional approach to reforming their organizations.
Higher education policies in Europe, especially ones brought forward by the Bologna
Process, are intensifying national higher education reforms as well. Dusa Marjetic (Under
Secretary of Higher Education, Slovenia) demonstrated how the Slovenian government is
adjusting to this new situation. Several governance measures have been installed recently,
many of them related to enhancing quality assurance, accountability and transparency in
higher education. All these policies and measures can be useful for national higher education
reforms but it remains to be seen to what extend they are able to remove unethical behaviors
from universities and administration.
Conclusion
There was an interesting dilemma present in this session. On one hand, there seems to be a
common acceptance that education corruption is a pandemic phenomenon. It can be found
everywhere, developing countries as well as rich as shown in figure 2. All speakers echoed
that education corruption is becoming a very harmful problem in education systems. There
was a silent call that we need to do something – urgently. On the other hand, the
presentations also indicated we know only a little about education corruption. What we do
INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION CONFERENCE, ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN, 16-18 SEPTEMBER 2009
238
know is more of perceptions rather than reported incidences, anecdotes rather than systematic
evidence-based analysis. There is hardly any reliable knowledge about cost of corruption (its
impact on economic development, individual rates of return, or economics of educational
institutions). Understanding of prevalence of unethical behaviours in pre-university education
is fragile. Perhaps most importantly, the consequence of education corruption to ethics of
education and moral development of students who live and learn in such environments is
unknown.
Figure 2. Perception of how extreme corruption has affected education systems in different
parts of the world in 2007 (N=63,000+; Transparency International, 2007)
International organizations are tightening grip on anti-corruption work. Corruption is
recognized as a cancer of development. Therefore good governance and transparency are
high at the lists of development priorities in these organizations. Specific anti-corruption
strategies for education do not exist yet. It is important that anti-corruption strategies become
more specific and, as was heard in the plenary session of this conference from Dr. Tunde
Kovac-Cerovic (State Secretary for Education, Serbia), education requires a special attention
due to its human and personalized nature.
In the end, the most important question of all is: What we should do next? Several
speakers touched on that and offered ideas for action. One of the urgent issues not to forget is
to keep students involved in this work. There are tens of formal student associations, such as
Anti-corruption Student Network in South East Europe, and European Students‟ Union, that
do grass-roots work in their universities and schools to stop unethical behaviours and
improve governance. The following are some of the ideas presented during this session:
1. Conduct and coordinate surveys. None of the current international corruption surveys
(including Transparency International‟s Corruption Perception Index, World Economic
Forum‟s Global Competitiveness Index, World Bank Institute‟s Control of Corruption
Index) provide information about education corruption in detail. Indeed, these indexes
are also unable to provide comparative information of countries‟ progress year-to-year
or even reliable picture of cross-country comparisons. Transparency International‟s
Global Corruption Barometer is a step forward but there is a need for more specified
survey that could be carried out in Europe and Central Asia region. International
organizations could work jointly on preparing such surveys and agree on who could
take a lead in administrating them annually.
2. Finance research and reviews. Despite growing interest, the research base is still not
sufficient to convince suspicious minds of prevalence and consequences of education
corruption. Most contemporary research concentrates on malpractices in universities.
Corruption in primary or secondary schools is much less investigated. For example, the
recent Transparency International working paper titled “Corruption in the education
INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION CONFERENCE, ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN, 16-18 SEPTEMBER 2009
239
sector” (2007) had very little research based evidence. In order to strengthen the
research base on education corruption international organizations could agree on the
main research themes or questions and jointly finance research projects.
3. Arrange regular conferences on education ethics and corruption. At the moment,
education corruption has been part of general education conferences, if at all. As the
research evolves, there will be a need for an annual event in which research designs and
papers can be discussed. This conference should also invite national researchers and
education experts to present national education reforms and work on corruption.
International organizations could agree to hold an annual conference on ethics and
corruption in education and host it on rotating basis. Keeping education in the agenda
of the OECD Anti-corruption Network would be a visible signal to many others.
4. Produce policy papers. If the joint work on anti-corruption that has been proposed by
many international organizations becomes reality, there will also be a need for
coordination of policy papers. Conferences and national seminars could be supported
by a series of periodical policy papers that would report findings and news in education
corruption. This would also be a way to help the advocacy work that is necessary in
countries. International organizations could decide who would take the responsibility to
coordinate and edit an Internet-based series of policy papers.
In 1984 President Museveni thought that his country Uganda had nothing to do with
HIV/AIDS. Ten years later HIV-related infection rates in Uganda were the highest in the
world. In finding ways to address the alarming situation, President Museveni drew inspiration
from African tradition. "When a lion comes into your village, you must raise the alarm
loudly", he said when addressing his colleagues in the African Development Forum in Addis
Ababa in December 2000. This is exactly what the Ugandans did. They accepted the situation
and took it seriously. All government meetings had to include a moment to remind people
about the issue and that it can only be solved together. In that same Forum the President also
encouraged the audience by stressing that AIDS is not such a serious problem; it is not like
small pox or Ebola. Indeed, it can be prevented and if people become aware of the nature of
the problem, it will gradually stop. Today, HIV infections have not completely stopped in
Uganda but the rate of reduction of the deadly virus spread is a top-of-the-class example for
all others.
Putting anti-corruption as a concrete aspect of education reforms that international
development organizations finance and support is a moral obligation. Those who speak truth
to power, however, often come to regret it, as Martin Luther King Jr. said. Regardless, we
need to bring the issue of education corruption to the attention of power. We should talk to
people openly and, if necessary, loudly about education corruption as President Museveni and
his people did if we want to guarantee better future for our nations and their people.
