Abstract

This descriptive survey investigated students' views on lecturers' engagement in corrupt practices within Kwara State's tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria. The study targeted NCE. Three-level students, with 150 respondents randomly sampled using stratified and purposive techniques from public Colleges of Education. A researcher-designed questionnaire was used, addressing four research questions. Mean and standard deviation analyzed the data, revealing a high level of lecturer involvement in Corruption. Causes cited included greed, students' disinterest in learning, weak enforcement of anti-corruption laws, and lecturer intimidation. Corrupt practices identified encompassed money extortion from students, sexual harassment, score manipulation, forcing `handout purchases, and certificate forgery. Proposed solutions included timely salary payments, robust anti-corruption groups, funding lecturers' international conferences, strict sanctions against wrongdoers, and merit-based recruitment and promotion. These findings emphasize the need to combat Corruption, preserve institutional integrity, and create a conducive learning atmosphere. Implementation of effective anti-corruption measures can promote ethical academic conduct, ensuring transparent and accountable educational systems. Further research and practical interventions are vital to curb Corruption's impact on Nigeria's educational sector.

学生对高等教育机构讲师参与腐败行为的原因、形式和解决办法的看法，尼日利亚Kwara州

这项描述性调查调查了学生对尼日利亚夸拉州高等教育机构内讲师参与腐败行为的看法。这项研究的目标是NCE。三级学生，150名受访者随机抽样，采用分层和有目的的技术从公立教育学院。使用研究者设计的问卷，解决四个研究问题。平均数和标准偏差分析了数据，揭示了讲师参与腐败的程度很高。原因包括贪婪、学生对学习不感兴趣、反腐败法律执行不力以及讲师恐吓。腐败行为包括向学生勒索钱财、性骚扰、操纵分数、强迫购买救济品和伪造证书。提出的解决方案包括及时支付工资、组建强大的反腐败组织、资助讲师的国际会议、严厉制裁违法者以及基于绩效的招聘和晋升。这些调查结果强调了打击腐败、维护机构诚信和创造有利学习氛围的必要性。实施有效的反腐败措施可以促进合乎道德的学术行为，确保透明和负责任的教育制度。进一步的研究和实际干预对于遏制腐败对尼日利亚教育部门的影响至关重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
