Our 51st working paper explores one aspect of institutional integrity in schools: identifying nepotism and its roots in a culture. Nepotism at Schools in Armenia: A Cultural Perspective by Meri Avetisyan and Varsenik Khachatryan ssrn/abstract=2523541 ...our data demonstrated that the majority of teachers consider giving higher than deserved grades to colleagues’ children or helping them to cheat during exams as acceptable behavior, a way of life. Those who engage in such activities are not condemned, but are considered trustworthy and respected colleagues. In contrast, those who refuse to follow this path are labeled as disrespectful and untrustworthy, and are quickly marginalized.
