From American Councils for International Education
Corruption in higher education casts a shadow on many countries that are working towards more modern and progressive political and economic systems. While this is slowing changing, Ukraine has been no exception. From bribes to faculty or administrators to award degrees, to students benefitting from unregulated testing standards, corruption has undermined the quality of the country's higher education programs domestically and its recognition in the international market. As Ukraine moves toward a more transparent higher education system, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and American Councils for International Education, in an alliance with 16 other partners, are ramping up their participation and investment.
