Abstract

Corruption in the education sector undermines the integrity of institutions, erodes public trust, and negatively impacts the quality of education. This study analyzes foreign experiences in combating corruption to identify effective investigative approaches applicable to Uzbekistan’s educational system. Countries such as the United States, Singapore, South Korea, the Netherlands, and Japan have implemented comprehensive anti-corruption measures, including mandatory asset declarations for officials, transparent monitoring systems, online reporting platforms, and strict legal accountability for bribery.

These practices ensure the early detection of corrupt activities, safeguard witnesses, and prevent conflicts of interest among public servants. By examining these models, the study highlights strategies to enhance Uzbekistan’s capacity to investigate corruption within educational institutions, strengthen legal frameworks, and promote transparency. The adoption of such measures can improve governance, protect students’ and teachers’ rights, and foster a culture of accountability, thereby minimizing opportunities for corruption in the education sector.
