This work addresses corruption, injustice and the deterioration of education in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through the phenomenon of "witch schools". The author Pierre OLELA NGONGO describes how the privatization of education has given rise to establishments that prioritize profit, leading to fraudulent practices such as the registration of students without legal documents, the falsification of school records and the sale of diplomas. The book highlights the devastating impact of corruption on students, teachers and society, highlighting the complicity of school inspectors and the corrupt organization of exams. The consequences are alarming: devaluation of diplomas, difficulties in professional integration and loss of confidence in education. The author also paints a dark picture of the main players in this corruption, including private school managers, teachers and education authorities, who help perpetuate the system. Additionally, the author's personal testimony illustrates the difficulty of maintaining one's integrity.
