It should be noted that the majority of research works are devoted to corruption prevention in the educational system as a whole (Abramov & Sokolov, 2017a;Akunchenko, 2017;Volkova, 2018;Bikeev & Kabanov, 2010Du Plessis, 2014;Kabanov, 2014Kabanov, , 2015Kabanov, , 2017Kosarenko, 2018;Martin, 2016;Mashinian & Kochergina, 2015;Pliugina, 2016;Poisson, 2013;Polukarov, 2017Polukarov, , 2018, as well as in educational organisations in particular (Damm & Shishko, 2016Komalasari & Saripudin, 2015;Koval, 2014;Mikheev, 2014;Vorontsov, 2015 et al).
