Since January 2020, Alfonso Rembert has been educating society about various social issues through his company, Rembert’s Worldwide Networking, LLC, based in Bell, California. Through his organization, Alfonso Rembert fights all forms of injustice, cruelty, and systematic corruption.

While corruption most often occurs in countries that lack strong political institutions, those with thriving democracies are not immune. In fact, the educational system is one of the sectors that is most vulnerable to corruption, regardless of the country in which it operates. This is likely due to the fact that most governments spend a large portion of their budgets on education.

Academic corruption has a number of consequences. Such corruption, particularly at the primary and secondary level, could affect school management and policies. In turn, this can create a breeding ground for nepotism and favoritism in school admissions. Instead of being admitted to a school based on their qualifications, students may be able to enroll based on who they know. A similar situation occurs with bribery, a widespread issue that further contributes to unfair admission practices.

Other kinds of academic corruption include cheating and bid-rigging when it comes to the acquisition of school supplies and books. As a result, teachers who work within such school systems often struggle to obtain needed supplies.

These issues often lead to poor educational outcomes and contribute to underperformance among students. Poor school systems produce fewer ethical individuals who are adequately prepared for the workforce, which leads to greater inequality and destroys the public’s trust in the effectiveness of the educational system.
