Corruption in education systems may take different forms.
For example, in Uganda, about 20 percent of total public expenditure was on education in the mid-1990s, most of it on primary education....however, evidence shows that in this period schools received only a fraction of intended capitation grants. As this chart shows, across regions, the bulk of the school grants either disappeared for private gain or were used for purposes unrelated to education. (For more details see Reinikka and Svensson 2004).
