A new report by the non-profit organisation Corruption Watch has lifted the lid on widespread corruption and the practice of sextortion in schools where educators demand sex in exchange for good grades. This is despite numerous policies and legislation intended to provide unimpeded access to a decent education.

In an interview with Radio Islam International, Corruption Watch’s Phemelo Khaas explains that the report titled ‘Sound the Alarm” highlights 3,667 reports of education-related corruption between 2012 and 2021, categorised into three types – Basic Education, Primary and Secondary Education.
