The Role of Higher Education on Corruption: Comparison of European Union and African Union
Abstract
A cross-country comparison reveals the fact that high tertiary enrollment rates are associated with low corruption, and low tertiary enrollment rates are associated with high corruption. Such a comparison does not show whether an increase in higher education leads to lower or higher corruption. Hence, the aim of the study is to analyze the effect of higher education on corruption on best performing European Union countries and worst performing African Union countries. It is found that higher education has positive significant effect on corruption not only in African Union but also in European Union. Hence, it is concluded that the enticement of higher living standard prevails the moral principals and ethical values of individuals in the way of reaching it. The author advise a course on moral principals and ethical values to be included in the curriculum of higher education institutions to teach the meaning of virtue and the long-term gains of living with high moral standing rather than to be gravitated to the short-term gains of corruption as a policy implication.
