Abstract

The study examines corruption as a virus that defaced quality and standard of education in Nigeria. The paper employs the philosophical methods of criticism, speculation and analysis. Corruption in the education sector in Nigeria is a major virus that is affecting the quality of education in the country. It takes various forms, namely; bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, and cronyism. These practices have a negative impact on the education sector, leading to a lack of resources, poor morale, low productivity, and a lack of trust in the system. In order to address this problem, there needs to be a commitment from all stakeholders to stamp out corruption and promote transparency and accountability in the education sector. Only then can the quality of education be improved for the benefit of all students in Nigeria.
