6. Mozambique

62% of Mozambican respondents said either they or someone in their household paid a bribe at some point over the last year. 79% of the respondents felt that the education sector was highly corrupt (only the police were thought more corrupt). The Ministry of Education has been mired in multiple scandals such as diversion of funds and corrupt admission to schools. The report is however encouraging in that 64% of the respondents believe ordinary citizens can make an impact in the fight against corruption.
