"Corruption does not know any borders and is present everywhere – in every country regardless of their economic development and in all levels of society. Although surveys show that most of the EU Member States rank among the countries perceived as least corrupt in the world, there is a lot to do within and outside our borders. It is difficult to shape the mentality of the whole of society, especially the older generations who sometimes do not even perceive corruption as being negative as this is a ‘normal܀ part of their everyday life. However, nearly one fifth of the worldʼs population is aged between 15 and 24. They are the future generation who have the potential to stop corruption both as citizens and as future leaders. The first public institution that young people experience is school – the place where their views, values and responsibilities are shaped. However, schools can only educate a society free of corruption if they are free of corruption themselves. Transparency Internationalʼs 2013 Global Corruption Barometer shows that nearly one out of every five people worldwide paid bribes to education services during this year. This is a warning sign; we all need to stand up and fight corruption."@en1
