Abstract Background The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that anti-corruption measures in educational institutions today are an acute problem in the education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The facts of corruption in the field of education have a destructive effect on the process of training health professionals. Methods The study of the level of anti-corruption culture was carried out on the basis of a survey of 13,110 students, 825 teachers and 199 administrators. We have developed 3 types of questionnaires for each category of respondents. The survey was conducted on the SurveyMonkey platform in May-June 2020. Results An analysis of the level of anti-corruption culture indicates that the greatest risk of situations in which elements of corruption in college are most common occurs when entering college, passing midterm exams (ratings), and passing final exams and tests. As the main reasons for corruption in college, most respondents point to the low level of teacher salaries, low interest in learning among students. Teachers and administrators give much higher satisfaction with the level of response of the college administration to complaints about corruption and unethical attitudes than the students themselves. Conclusions In order to ensure a timely response to the facts of corruption and the formation of an anti-corruption culture, it is necessary to ensure regular feedback from students, questioning of teachers and administrators. Activities aimed at identifying, suppressing and preventing corrupt practices should primarily relate to the process of entering college, passing midterm and final exams. Key messages The discrepancy in the assessments of certain categories of respondents indicates the need for regular feedback from students, conducting a survey of college staff. Anti-corruption measures should relate primarily to the process of entering college, passing midterm and final exams.
