Corruption has a negative political, economic and social impact. The Final Report of Transparency International on the period of the year 2007 reads that Moldova, as a whole, takes the 113th place in the level of corruption. All countries undertake measures to combat corruption using different methods, but only those which are aware of the danger and maintain a certain political will in combating this phenomenon are successful. If the state does not interfere with rigorous measures to combat corruption in the educational sector, in 15 - 20 years the economy of the country will become uncompetitive on the world market and, thus, leading to an economic fiasco.
