what kind of people are more corrupted? Educated or Uneducated.. i think you know better. Education should be the the prime source to establish morality and responsibility against the corruption. But why the 80% [i think] of total corruption is happened among the literate people?

I think the educators are the most corrupt. They try to distort students beliefs, and install their own non-competitive idears. Political correctness has gone mad - why would anyone think that  a white supremacist phrase like "person of colour" is non-racist, and a simple description of skin colour is racist?

Corruption doesn't depend on Educated or Uneducated people, it is about morality. We can see, now days, there are many educated people do this worse attitude. Is educated people certainly assure that they wan't corrupt?, I don't think so. Talking about corruption is about morality. Morality can be built by establishing good education from early age. It can be started as early as possible. By building up morality, it will help people to against corruption. 

Corruption depends on a person's greed, not on education. I know many people with different levels of education, but they are all involved in corruption. This is not taught in educational institutions ;D

Because it's much easier for well educated people to manipulate others. Humans are very simple creatures, and once you understand how they function you can usually get them to do anything you want with some effort.

What I don't understand is why people actually steer humanity in such an odd direction though. Instead of pushing us forward and making life better for all, they seem to be trying to hold humanity back and make life worse. Very odd.

Educated or uneducated person can be a curropt. It is in the attitude of the person and not behind what he or she accomplished in education.

Because if you are smarter you know the laws and regulations better and if you know those better you know how to avoid the pitfalls and get ahead. This seems like good deductive logic and it shouldnt be any surprise that

educated people are more likely to be corrupt. I myself think that doesnt matter who you are as long as you understand how something functions and then how to exploit it you will do it in due time.

People who are educated are the one who are corrupt especially people who have a higher position in the government.
 They make ways to make big and beautiful projects but under that projects lies what they true desires, for their self.
 They corrupt 50% of the budget for that project that's why all the project are unfinished due to their self interest.

It doesn't matter if you are educated or not. People who can do corruption are those who has the capability to formulate a scheme to corrupt someone. Why most of corrupt are educated people? because they have the capability to think how to do it.

Corruption can affect education... because education is so important to the children... But some people are corruption especially people who in position.. So some children here in Philippines are not in school...

Education is 3 functions and its role to human being who take education and student, first Education that sharpen intelligence, second to strengthen the will and to soften feeling, that's what I know

In 3rd world countries education process is corrupted as f***. My friend from Russia told me, that he pays up to 500-700$ every year just for his grades, and in Russia that's zerh big money. It's no wonder that even most educated people are so corrupted in this case.

The educated man is the real one. If you've learned a little, you can not change the person's eyes. So they say that educating is the best weapon. Hehehe

This is pretty obvious that uneducated people are more corrupted than educated people. Education makes people more cultivated, well-behaved. Education given you a chance to become a better person.

I find the answers here both funny and depressing. We all know that anyone can be corrupt no matter their standing in life yet it seems people here seem to equate corruption with knowledge. Guess it goes along with the anti-intellectualism trend we are seeing know. (It's particularly bad in my country.)

Cause literate people can read and known how to do corruption in short term.
The other side people unliterate mostly very high society so they won't do any corruption, isn't because they doesn't educated, unliterate people has moral and responsibility to others.
The only way to eliminate corruption, government must issue rules for any corruptor, if i would say like China dead penalty for corruptor no matter to old or young or male and female will get dead penalty.

I know there are so many corrupt governments, almost all of them are corrupt, do I have to doubt their high education? No, they are licensed, school is very high. But they are only public education schools, their morals are not learned, they are easy to eat in check, blind if you have seen the money. Corruptors are low-moral.
 

both the educated and uneducated are corrupt, usually they do it together, the educated is the architect of the plan and the the uneducated is the technician. I would say our loyalty is more important than our levels of education.

In various countries corruption most often undertaken by well educated, i think is due to the education system they were in not implemented discipline.

Everyone is capable of corruption. More educated people probably have more opportunities to be corrupt but given the chance, it comes down to the person and their greed/motives.

The uneducated people usually are also in the situation in which they have to struggle to survive, so i don't think that they can find them self's in such positions in which they can gather the fruits of corruption so education corrupts the mind. Have you ever thought that in schools we learn what others decided that we should learn? That is an other for of corruption.

Because they know how.  Because they are knowledgeable on the consequences thus they'll understand the loop holes on it.  They know how to get in and out of the situation, the legalities and everything.

corruption is not led by whether educated people or uneducated people. it is about the morality. however, corruptions happened around us are led by most educated people, especially by people in positions of power. therefore, we need to educate young generations not only in terms of education but also morality since both should go hand in hand together to get better life.

I think the more corrupt people are the educated one because they can have the higher position in the society and they have more chance to corrupt. While uneducated people hard for them to corrupt because they know how it feels to have nothing

I think that it doesnt matter if one is educated or not both have the tendecies to be corrupt and selfish at the same time. It is even most surprising that sometimes educated people are the most selfish ones but I really would argue that people are corrupt and it doesnt matter if they are educated kr not.

Thinking about it, the educated and experienced have the tendency to be more corrupt compared to the uneducated because they know how the system works. They want to take advantage of their educated and use it to corrupt the weaknesses of the system. It's sad that educated corrupt citizens of the society further weakens the system and not improving the weaknesses of the system.

Your lives are run by who :D..

They have their fingers in every pie all across Europe and no one can have a chance ..

I believe knowledge is not the problem but the person whose intelligence been use to wrong doings that is why those uneducaed people tend to be look innocent on what is happening around them.

Well it's not hard to notice that most corrupt individuals hold a significant post in governments and institutions. You have to be smart to be able to manipulate power. That's the sad part of it. The ones bearing the burden of corruption are those that aren't as educated as those in power

I understand the point that educated people are mostly the ones who are corrupted, but this only lies on the persons morality and not because of their ranks in society. The only reason I could think of in supporting the fact of educated people starting to corrupt is that they think highly of themselves that they will abuse their powers just to show people their high and mighty. Arroganve is the proper term, it is because they think that they are more educated than other  people and that they have the right to do what they please.

From my point of view there is nothing to do with education, its became with the personality of each one. Anyway, another point to keep in mind is that the established education has not evolved in years, but that is another story ...


Wrong, you just need to have something that others want to manipulate people...

i don't think so because the real picture doesn't show it. it shows just the opposite. though the real education is different....real education can change a human being. but the education we are practicing is not the real one..so it is very unfortunate.

What if you manipulate people without them even realizing it?

literate people are most corrupt because they have many chances to corruption and illiterate people have less chances of corruption. the most chances of corruption, the higher rate of corruption. the less chances of corruption, the less will be the rate.

It doesn't matter even if you are educated or uneducated,  it all boils down to your Core values as a person, That is why our families also has a big contribution on our core values. What are your beliefs. How are you influence by other people also matters. If we see other people are corrupt, and we dont have a strong values of what is right and wrong then, we might think that its okay to be corrupt because everyone is doing it.

Well basically these educated people hold a certain advantage over the non educated ones when it comes to intelligence so it will be easy for them to manipulate the lower class. Power corrupts, its as simple as that especially if you think that other people don't have the capability to stand up for themselves.

Corruption is the disease that destroy the future of country and it's people. Corruption must stop because it might be the biggest thing that will destroy the reputation of government. However, education is the key to stop corruption. Why? Being educated can change one's attitude to be a better person that she/he can't do the action of corruption. Education is the way to have a better future someday.

For me the educators are the most corrupt people for example in our own government there are so many corrupted in our country like politicians governor etc. And Its a kind of  disease of educated man.

you cant stop curruption, educated people and non educated people both are involved in this matter

As I based on what I see on the society nowadays, education in school is formal but they can't teach the heart of a child to be honest, loyal, selfless, giving and the heart to serve others, they always teach children today to compete to others, so what will be set in the minds of the young people? to compete, to be on top, to be the best? The people today are so selfish, we always think about our self first, we don't care about others.

Education Better all time (not mean government Studies ) you must learn every day till died Because learn is Super power

I agree that corruption is the simplest greed, has nothing to do with education) Of course, people who have a good education, it is easier for them and make corruption)) But I will focus on greed :P

Corruption is all about mentality and morality , whe can't say it's dépend with educated or not educated person . the éducation guide person to know things and it help to the knowledge and ne able to know what's wrong and what's right . but when a person is a corrupt in it's mind , hé can do bas things and hé don't mind. Son we can say corruption depend with education.

This is objective. A person's opinions regarding this matter is based on the perspective of his/her environment, history, experiences, and other related factors.

If you grew up with bad educators, mixed with fact that you are around the same mentality, then surely that will be your opinion.

I honestly see literacy as an important factor for understanding. Not schooling, but learning, is important

It really depends, people who tend to gain power becomes corrupted, I really think even if you are educated or not, when you gain power over something, you will become corrupted or greedy.

More education, know more, then for the sake of corruption will be

I think corrupt people are those who uneducated, because if you are educated person you have nothing to do but the good things that no one can be hurt.

It doesn’t really matter, educated or uneducated. If a person is really greedy, his or her educational attainment does not justify his or her acts. He or she corrupts simply because he is bad and greedy.

corruption has nothing to do with education in almost all of cases..
Corruption is related to greed .. it's a totally natural human instinct

While being educated should make us more knowledgeable and supposedly wiser, it is sad to say that sometimes it does the opposite. Currently, morality is not really being taught or focused in schools thus the students grow doing whatever they want. What sometimes happens is that our intelligence is used in creating new ways of corrupting ourselves.

We as western nations need to stop big donations to a political party ..

Like Bernie Sanders said $25 dollar or £25 Pounds donation MAX and that way who will do anything as a bribe for 25 DOLLARS ;)..

Plus my rule any politician needs to show their bank accounts for 10 years after they leave office that way no contract robbing or favours ..

WE NEED TO STOP THESE LEECHES  >:( >:(..

I cannot stand POLITICIANS .But still is a few who are worth their weight in gold..

If you landed on a desert island with 10 people would you elect a leader to tell you how he thinks you should live OR do you elect a leader to tell the leader how you want to live?..

See politicians HATE the thought we tell them how the world should be ..
They think that their way is the right way..

And if you let a politician let him think we should all live by they way he thinks then guess what he will think he deserves a better life than you..

Never ever let politicians think that their way is the right way ..

You elect a leader to do what the masses wants not what he wants..

The politicians say the people are becoming populist ..

What so you don't like the idea that people tell a politician how and what we need?..

YOU POLITICIANS ..

If the masses are populism you politicians are TWATISM ..NOW FUCK OFF..

You are money grabbing scum bags who talk shit for a living because your so lazy to get a proper job ;D..

You are TWATISM we the masses are populism  ;D..

WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THIS CRAZY POLITICAL LAWS..

We need to change the way politicians get paid and how they get funded.. ;D ;D

Corruption happens not just by educated or uneducated people, because corruption can happen because anyone who has the opportunity to make a lot of money will not give up on it. Corruption occurs when one person has too much money from an organization's budget to retreat and try to take a lot of money in an extremely greedy way.

In corruption it is not important if you are eduacated or not because it is in the attitude of the person but educated are more capable of doing unethical things because they know how to hide what they are doing.

corruption isnt about educated or not dude, its about ur faith. do u believe that corruption is the same criminal with  rob? do u believe if u doing corruption u will harm everyone? if u have believe doing corruption is a bad behavior u willn't do that. but the problem is, there's many people know that doing corruption is a bad behavior but they still doing that. education is nothing without action. u know, but u not doing something its same as bullshit. so thats happen to people who have doing corruption. they know corruption is bad, but they still doing that.

Vietnam is currently experiencing too much corruption. The larger the position, the more the people. I do not blame education completely, but partly because of human greed. They have lost the virtue of looking at the money first. The health minister sells counterfeit medicines.

mostly educated persons only taking corruption. generally both are taking but compare to uneducated educated people had authority they have to settle in business, politics, office, government and private and other sectors. so in this way they want to earn more money so for that reason they want to earn money in any way. really now a days what happening educated people brain and why they are thinking like that seriously its very saddest issue.

I think corruption does not depend on wether you're educated or not it's in the person itself the kind of person he is, how he was raise up by their parents, and how was he was being formed in the kind of environment he has, if he was raise up to be a person of worth and value he will have integrity that even if he is the midst of corrupt company if it's not really his personality he wouldn't associate with their dirty works.

sometimes those who are well educated person they are those who are most corrupted, they are intelligent enough that they seems not obvious because they look dignified and well respected and behave but the truth is, they have hidden agenda in all their project, they manipulated everything to suit in to their desires and when they get caught they blame it to much weaker and innocent person to escape punishment.

we cant tell thing to be right on that way, but let me lay my perspective !
educated people are ones who are intelligent and most of the time are the officials in the government! but the thread was shred even before they camme! thjeir parents and relatives are ones corrupt and they are just covering the crimes and starting to commit corruption too! it is the money that they waant but not at all! some un educated people and from the poor side of the economy are the one who has dignity and braveness to fight crimes in the government! but they are alone and powerless (money) they are being down all the time they want to throw a punch and ended  corrupt in the future !

I think educated people are most likely to be corrupt (not all of them).Educated people can find ways on how to put money in their pocket.They know a lot of things - process,law,money laundering, smuggling etc. They can make they way around and can manipulate people by means of power. Uneducated people are blunt and easy to predict.No wonder they are the first one to get caught when thing go.side ways.

It is really important for child to have family with a good education. Opposite, there is a chance to become evil person. If you are talking about self-education, then a person should read a lot of books, obviously. I've read few, and I hate anything connected to a corruption.

The only way to fight corruption is again the requirements for quality training. If young people understand that their future is connected with the quality of their education (and today they are very weakly linking these two things, they are linking their future, maybe with a diploma, with a piece of paper, but not with the quality of preparation) if they understand, that the quality of training can really ensure their success in a future life, they will still require knowledge.

I don't think that corruption depends on education...it depends on the person's conscience...

It all depends which education we are talking about. Also criminals aducate their children... their own way.

The cost of corruption is high. Stolen resources from education budgets mean overcrowded classrooms and crumbling schools, or no schools at all. Books and supplies are sometimes sold instead of being given out freely. Schools and universities also ‘sell’ school places or charge unauthorised fees, forcing students (usually girls) to drop out. Teachers and lecturers are appointed through family connections, without qualifications. Grades can be bought, while teachers force students to pay for tuition outside of class. In higher education, undue government and private sector influence can skew research agendas.

How can people without high education be corrupted? They are not the so-called big bosses. Yes, corruption and education are closely connected.

All I know is, the source of corruption is the people who have been educated because they know how to do things beyond the individual who Uneducated.And most educated are corrupted.

I think the most corrupt are educated because most all educated were in Government. If we think, differentiate the corruption no educated? No, because they have no knowledge to corruption.

corruption is a misunderstanding of where we are living In our lifestyle Another learning outcome In school In fact the effect of corruption In school often it happens In schools sometimes I know where my money goes for the young people With knowledge.???

Educated people are the most corrupt, and this can be seen evidently in politicians, who are the most corrupt part of society. However, education is also part of the solution to corruption, which is ironic.

This thread was very helpful.... Welldone all

I guess the more corrupt are those who are educated from prestigious schools and earned their masters as they boast it to the public. Educated people of course know the mechanics of the game, it is like that they were educated on how to be acquitted from their violations and devilish undertakings. Those who were not educated will definitely follow the rules because they don't know what will happen. Anyway this is just my opinion based from what I observed.

For me, those people that are corrupt are those who are educated. Most people who have positions in the government are those who graduated in a degree and BAR passers because they know the law.

It is not the education determines whether a person is corrupt or not. It is not the basis of having a good about attitude but having a self control and giving an important for what we called dignity.

It's not about educated and uneducated. Education is just a degree, while to know what is morally right and wrong is being literate.

Corruption is from Educated person but they will act as an uneducated because all unconscionable thing they will done to fulfill  their self interest
until they success what they want to achieve.

Education is a fundamental human right and a major driver of human and economic development. It strengthens personal integrity and shapes the societies in which we live. Since education typically comprises 20-30 per cent of a country’s budget, it is  critically prone to corruption, from national education ministries to local schools and universities.

Being corrupt doesnt depend on educated or uneducated person but most corrupt person had higher degrees rather than uneducated because they got lots of knowledge rather than uneducated.

The most corrupt people are the most educated one. They know how to corrupt money without evidence. Education is very important to each one of us, but sometimes people don't know how to use there education in the right way.

Interesting question.
And herein lies the weakness of a person. Sometimes education can make the person stronger and weaker. and remember money does not distinguish smart and stupid people.
Fools can use smart ways to earn money, for example many successful entrepreneurs have no education history in their lives.
Conversely, smart people get trapped in a dumb way to get it, and the example is corruption.

People who are educated is more currupt. Why ? Is it because they look down to those who are not educated, they blamed, they fooled them because people who are not educated didn't know anything but to follow those who are educated.

For the corruption many peoples now are corrupt.the people that educated are the most corrupt on my country also the peoples have a place for the politics every time they will make a project until they cannot finish but the money is complete they corrupt already them so thats why they cant corrupt.

I think corruption can be associated with education. Why? Because (1) Educators - some educators of educational institution corrupt ideas and concepts from their learners. They impart twisted knowledge to their students and they did not let the students think critically about issues in society including corruption by brainwashing pupils' mind. (2) Educated People - They took advantage to those who aren't educated. They use what they have learned in a very negative and wrong way. Lastly, (3) the uneducated people - they became 'ignorant' in the sense that they are being fooled and they believe that they are fools but the truth is not. They believe that they cannot do anything about it because of their status but in fact, they can do something about corruption.

Corruption does not depend on Educated or Uneducated people, it is about morality. We can see, there are many educated people do this bad attitude. Is educated people certainly assure that they won't corruption?  I don't think that. Talking about corruption is about morality. Morality can be build by establishing good education from early age. It can be started as early as possible. By building up morality, it will help people to against corruption.
Although corruption is a global trend, advanced democratic States have been able to prove that there is no substitute for corruption to make governance and rule law meaningful. Development of the country, poverty alleviation, establishment of human rights, rule of law, institutionalization of democracy, good governance and corruption is one the toughest obstacles in overall positive social change.

Education spine of the nation. The only education is a nation
May take the overall development path forward. Only
Country by bridge, flyer or metro rail
The overall development is not possible.
But our education system is almost destroyed
On the verge Free textbooks worth hundreds of dollars
Distribution and increasing the number is almost hundred percent pass rate
By showing our authorities the education system
Fourth of praise The education system of the country is currently underway
The most corrupt!
The whole education system has become a business now.
The most frightening thing is that our children-
Teenagers know that their teachers
Increase the number of exams in exchange for money, please
Even if you pass or pass before the exam
The questions are leaked. These are corruption.Countrymen hope that the nation is very important
ACC to complete the system of corruption from corruption
Campaign against corrupt teachers in the country
Run the billions of billions of students of the country
Stand by the guardian.

I think corruption will not fall on people whose educated or not. Corruption will always be the result of your inner motive in some things. If you just put up a show of being a good person and be a different one when you're already in place then corruption will follow. Corruption is the result of greed of money and getting your ambition through a short way.

I think it's much more circumstantial than just educated vs. uneducated.
My first impulse was to say "uneducated" (because educated have the ability and knowledge to solve any issue without participating in the corruption).
But then I counter-argued myself: educated people can be found often on the receiving end of the corruption (aka getting bribes because they hold the positions).
My thought is: it heavily depends on the society they live in, rather than on educational level. To exemplify: a Danish person without any education is less likely to get involved in the corruption than Venezuelan person with PhD degree (per World corruption index, Denmark has least corruption, and Venezuela is among the most corrupted countries).

Education is a fundamental human right and a major driven of human and economic development. it strengthens personal integrity and shapes the societies in which we live. since education typically comprises 30 - 50 percent of a country;s budget, it is critically prone to corruption, from national education ministries to local schools and universities.

Corruption is an incurable society disease. it is very difficult to find out when and why someone is corrupt.Avarice is the main cause of corruption. Limitless demand  of the people is another cause of corruption. Besides this, economic insolvency, ambiguity of laws, unemployment, political instability, lack of patriotism are the main causes of corruption. And  Education means  to develop ones mind  through formal learning in different institutions.It helf to develop a person mentally and intellectually. It help on to meet challenges. By true  education we mean the co_ordinated education through which one can a lot individually and socially.It does not necessarily mean the type of education to pass the examinations with credit and get good jobs only.

Well it depends on the kind of corruption, corruption in today's world is like a child that grows daily. Corruption is everywhere,  in a party,  if you don't know anyone you can't get a spoon of rice or soup,  in an institution,even if you get the best grades in your examination maybe Jamb UTME or WAEC,  you can't get admission without giving some thing.  Even during some voters registration process,  if you barely know someone there or don't have something to offer, you would sit for hours, sometimes days before the form reach you. Educated or uneducated,  corruption begins in one's mindset.

Corruption depends on a person and to a politician, if a person has a good deed for his community then he/she will do the right thing for his/her community. We cannot control their mind but we better choose the right person when it comes to voting a person in politics. Most politics are corrupt and we cannot deny that fact.

"corruption of state money"
Learned people do it often because they have the idea that many of the fools he leads, so that it appears in the middle of leadership.
Indeed at the beginning did not have such intentions but after seeing great opportunities he will surely fall too ..

Corruption continues to prevail in various modes, since corrupt behavior is not eroded from its roots, so corruption continues to prevail. Education is the place most responsible for the root of corruption, because in education as the formation of character like honesty.

the answer to that question is twofold, ie seen from the biological and socio-anthropological grounds. from a biological basis, human beings have to be educated / educated because basically humans are born powerless. Unlike the case with animals, like a cow that can walk after a few minutes of birth by his mother.

Corruption refers to stealing and embezzling funds of an organization or a group. Corruption has ruin the life of many organizations and states. Majority of these people who found themselves in this act are literate but they indulge in this act. Education on the other hand enlightens an individual and helps one to do things and do it well. This means education can make one more corrupt. However, if people are taught the effect of corruption on society then they can desist from the act.

Education is one of the fundamental human right and a major driver of human and economic development. It accentuates personal integrity and structure of the societies in which we live. Since education typically comprises 20-30 percent of a country’s budget, it is  critically prone to corruption, from national education ministries to local schools and universities.Stolen resources from education budgets mean overcrowded classrooms and crumbling schools, or no schools at all. Books and supplies are sometimes sold instead of being given out freely. Schools and universities also ‘sell’ school places or charge unauthorised fees, forcing students (usually girls) to drop out. Teachers and lecturers are appointed through family connections, without qualifications.The end result is limited access to and poor quality of education, and a social acceptance of corruption through a corrupted education system.

Educated people tend to have a high I.Q but less E.Q, while people who are less educated have high E.Q and low I.Q which means that uneducated people tend to more for the society rather than corrupting the minds and money of the people involve. Are you getting it? But because of corruption, less educated people are also adopting the mind set of the people who are corrupt. Because of it, less people who are not corrupt are loosing, and corrupt people are gaining more population than the other. Because of power and money, they tend to become corrupt. Over powering others are really kinda fun but let's think of the future and the society.

It's really a pity, gone are the days when education was a true test of knowledge and when someone graduate from school you'll attest to the fact that it's his/her grade but today it's no more like that. Student of now a days no more situp to study rather look for money to sort their lecturers for marks upgrade, and some lecturers ask girls for sex in other to pass them in their courses and this is purely corruption in our education system and if care and proper measures is not put in place to handle this cankerworm that's eating deep into our education then I can assure you we won't have adequate competent leaders tomorrow to handle this our country well.

Corruption is not educated-illiterate, because those who are corrupt do not have morals and they are out of humanity. I thing those who are corrupt, they are never good people, they harm only humans and later their children are also walking along the path of corruption. And educated people do other good thoughts before then and then think of themselves well. So, always express corruption and educated own morality and mind.

Corruption and education are polar opposites of each other so the people who do corruption do not want others to be educated cause then they’ll be a threat.

Corruption always exists in politics and most of the time, the criteria to have a position is that you have any degree or in simpler wordw, you should be educated. Knowledge is a power indeed as we can use it in rightful and even in wrong ways. That's where I believe where corrupt people go in. They are well educated and with that knowledge and power they have, corrupting is just an easy thing to do. It is sad that those who are well educated are those who are doing this thing. The moral and character shouldalso be there as a balance to the education that they get to understand that corrupting doesn't create any good effect to anyone.

Quite frankly the more educated and literate you are in an educated and literate society the more likely you're going to have access and ability to act in a corrupt manner. If you are uneducated, where will you be corrupt? At the dollar store? Maybe if you start your own franchise or something maybe you can be corrupt against your own employees but it'll never be government level or high profile finance corruption or anything like that.

this whole sweeping generalisation is absurd to begin with. corruption is not a educated or uneducated base phenomenon, but being educated helps one to make good contacts or in the higher places and then progress to commit humongous scams. corruption is associated with greed & compartmentalization of a system. when a system is rewarding corruption, people will automatically assume it to be a norm & everyone is expected to fall in line with either paying the system or getting paid by the system. education plays little or negligible part in such occurring. better education or awareness may help in lowering the level of corruption but thats another point to begin with.

Corruption is based on character alone. It has no relationship with literacy or illiteracy. Illiteracy is one's status obtained from the lack of access to education through reading and writing. But, reading and writing alone is not the sole means of acquiring knowledge. So, an illiterate person can also be knowledgeable and wise.

Literacy can however open up a huge opportunity to enhance knowledge, develop skills, and also become more innovative and intelligent.

All these attributes can help a good man to live honestly and a bad man to lead a vile life. Education is merely a tool for gaining knowledge, honing skills and solving problems. A corrupt person can also use his education either to lead an honest life or for enhancing skills to become more corrupt without getting caught. One can choose and get enough learning material for catering to either proclivities.

Just like we differentiate between good conduct and bad conduct, we should also differentiate between good education and bad education.

You're going too far, i think that everyone who teaches people will pass on some biases. Only a handful of people can really control themselves enough to strive on being fully objective. After all, when you're teaching someone something, you're changing their worldview. Humanities being so closely tied to our characters only makes the influence stronger, since you're learning things that affect your perception on society more.

all people who are corrupt must be educated, if they are not educated it is impossible for them to occupy such high positions.
corrupt people are not taught good morals from childhood, they are more concerned with each other's ego, they only think of the pleasures of the world without fear of sin

I believe that educated people are more corrupted. It is strange but it is a fact. Politicians, for example, do not hesitate to take bribery even though they are all educated. The more people are educated, the more they try to cheat. It is like a lawyer trying to avoid laws. People think that education will help them find loopholes. For example, educated people do not pay fully their taxes as well. Uneducated people, on the contrary, are afraid of laws and try to obey. Of course, some of them are really mad and commit crimes but generally, educated people are the cheaters in our society. Corruption is their act.

I agree. Education provides an opportunity to be engaged in corruption, but it doesn't change a person's attitudes or integrity, which means that education itself doesn't spoil people. It just might enable morally bankrupt people to engage in corruption, IMO.

These issue are mostly related to the countries in transition and the developing parts of the world. However, in many developed countries, corruption is also endemic within education namely, corruption entered this area and seriously endangers schools and universities. Corruption in the education sector can be defined as "the systematic use of public office for private benefit, whose impact is significant on the availability and quality of educational goods and services, and, had impact on access, quality or equity in education"   ( Hallak and Poison, 2002 ). Unfortunately, very little research has been carried out to compare the costs of corruption in the education sector.

Maybe the reason is that they believe they're smarter than other people? Especially in the education sector. People engaged in teaching/instructing are prone to believe they're kind of superior to others, which might "entitle" them to behavior usually considered to be immoral/illegal.
It's too hard to explain, really.

You cant blame also they had the power to manipulate the people, the educated peoples always is has a many steps in terms of plans among the uneducated people. most in our country educated always use they power to traffic drugs, human traffacking, smuggling, that leads to a country get less taxes that will help to those people who cant find a job children who can eat. Even in education has a corruption not only the educated and uneducated many fees you will pay and its not even use for the school of for the students.

It might be strange me saying this but I believe todays education is corruption of the young minds to be enslaved into the world of capitalism. Thats the real corruption, how we shape our young individual minds to the ideas and values of a progressive think tank, run by social elites engineering to our skewed reality of the world. Interestingly you will also find that most of the Think Tank engineers have connections and allegiances to countries like Israel than our own goals and objectives in the west.

Corruption happened normally in educated person because they are clever enough to manipulate the society.  They have also connections that can connive with their plans.  Educated people are the one who are greedy in fame, in money and power. They are doing everything just to have those things. They were eaten by the system. They cannot handle their wealth and power. They are greedy and selfish enough that they forget to be humane which should the first character of a political man. How sad it is but it is the reality. Im not saying that all educated people are like these but many that are in the political position are having this kind of mind and heart.

In my opinion, these two issues are closely related to the existence of a nation.
If multiple corruption will make the political situation unstable, resulting in economic slowdown.
If education is not good then the future of a country is threatened

You can be a highly educated person with low morality.
You can be an illiterate person with a moral high ground.

Educated people are more corrupt more than uneducated people because have more opportunities in business, government and institutions and with this, they have access to more money than uneducated ones

it depends on the form of education, formal education does not buttress more on morality, morality is primarily the responsibility of the parents and ward to inculcate on it wards. Failure to do so leads to societal degradation in value and norms.

I will agree to this to some degree because of their education that we are able to see this clearly since they hold all this public offices and their activities in this offices can easily be scrutinized by the public and that makes it more glaring as most corrupt even if we still have as much uneducated corrupt people operating on their own level  ;D. 

In order to be successfully "corrupt" and actually benefit from your immorality, you have to already be in a position of power, which usually takes a certain amount of education. It's human nature to take shortcuts at the expense of others.

education that used to be a means of finding truth and values eventually turned into a means of searching for pseudo-identity, abstract, and far from the value of morality of humanity. what is acute is that, the suspects and defendants involved in various corruption cases are elite elites. They are generally graduates of higher education, from elite schools as well. More and more university graduates, at present, are not making this country more advanced, but are increasingly entangled in a cycle of corruption.. :(

Corruption usually done by educated people and why is that? The reason is because they are educated, they're smart that's why they can manipulate the budget and do the corruption. But that doesn't mean the uneducated people can't do the same thing. There are no differences between the educated and uneducated people if they both do the corruption. It is all about the morality of a person.

corruption is about mindset and ethical quality , who can't state it's depend with taught or not instructed individual . the education direct individual to know things and it help to the learning and not ready to realize what's wrong and what's privilege .
 
While being instructed should make us more proficient and evidently smarter, it is pitiful to state that occasionally it does the inverse. As of now, profound quality isn't generally being educated or centered in schools along these lines the understudies develop doing whatever they need. What now and then happens is that our knowledge is utilized in making better approaches for undermining ourselves.

yet, when a man is a degenerate in it's brain , he can do basic things and he wouldn't fret. Child we can state debasement depend with instruction.

corruption is a very dangerous virus, it can attack all groups, whether educated or uneducated,
corruption is very difficult to resist because it is invisible and almost ingrained so it is very difficult to eradicate,
but in my opinion corruption can be opposed to moral education from an early age, moral education is very important because moral education teaches us how to live a family, community, nation and state,
indirectly moral becomes a benchmark for proper comparison or not.
so my conclusions are not educated or uneducated,
but moral people never teach and will not commit corruption.

In addition, lack of financial resources, heavy insolvency of a large number of economies, lack of natural resources, environmental pollution, and political instability in many parts of the world pose more than enough threats to make us tackle these issues seriously. It is difficult to state which of the mentioned problems is most important and endangers the global world most seriously, due to their being interrelated and interdependent. Nevertheless, I would like to highlight the issues of inadequate education and corruption, since these have extremely negative effects upon the survival and development of many countries.

These issues are mostly related to the countries in transition and the developing parts of the world. However, in many developed countries, corruption is also endemic within education. Namely, corruption entered this area and seriously endangers schools and universities. Corruption in the education sector can be defined as “the systematic use of public office for private benefit, whose impact is significant on the availability and quality of educational goods and services, and, has impact on access, quality or equity in education” (Hallak and Poisson, 2002). Unfortunately, very little research has been carried out to compare the costs of corruption in the education sector.

I wouldn’t say that corruption is limited to developing countries alone but rather corruption is everywhere in the entire world in China for instance corruption is a serious crime punishable by death and China is not a developing country.

Those people whom self proclaimed educated are the most corrupt of them all , literally those who are in the higher position and most are government officials. Just like here in our country where those who are in power are the most corrupt people ever , even if their position in tge government is low , the corruption never stops.

It's not just about education. It is not enough just to have some kind of academic knowledge and a diploma from a good university. We need internal decency and honesty of a person. This is not necessarily obtained along with knowledge, it is laid from early childhood by parents, family. This is a sense of justice and duty, which is formed through the correct behavior of parents, who set an example and explain important things.

 I think,one educated or uneducated person can be a curropt. It is in the attitude of the person and not behind what he or she accomplished in education.

Unfortunately, you are true that corrupt people mostly are educated. Because logically speaking uneducate one was more hardworking just to earn money and they know the difficulty just to earn unlike to educated one, they grab it as an opportunity because they know that lower class doesnt have power to stop them and they know how to keep it in media and public.
