Dailymail (British Newspaper) Story on Rana Mashood's Corruption

Aid Minister and the scandal school tsar: We give Pakistan £700m each year towards education - yet its supremo is being probed over 5,000 schools that don't exist. Here he is... with Justine Greening

British Department for International Development gives £700m to Pakistan
In Punjab, which gets £383m, auditor general uncovered huge corruption
5,000 schools and 40,000 teachers syphoning off cash in other area, Sindh
Rana Mashhood is under investigation for corruption - but met Greening

Hundreds of millions of pounds in British aid are being poured into education in Pakistan – where corrupt officials have creamed off vast amounts of cash by creating thousands of fake teaching jobs and pocketing the salaries.
A judicial inquiry in one province, Sindh, uncovered how the money was being siphoned off to as many as 5,000 schools and 40,000 teachers – which exist only on paper.

The fraud is just one of the scandals in education across Pakistan, to which Britain’s Department for International Development (DFID) has committed £700 million, supposedly to help the country’s impoverished children.


Continuing support: Justine Greening meets Rana Mashhood last year. Britain gives more aid than Australia, Canada, Holland, Italy and Spain combined. We give 0.7% of our wealth - the average for richer nations is 0.29%...the US gives 0.19%.

In the state of Punjab, where school projects have been allotted £383 million of UK aid, Pakistan’s auditor general uncovered corruption on a huge scale. The investigation revealed that £35 million had disappeared from the region’s higher-education budget, including £25 million on ‘bad investments’ and hundreds of thousands in fraudulent ‘advances’ to teachers.

Although Britain does not fund higher education in the region, the damning findings confirm DFID’s own assessment of its complex ‘support programme’ in Punjab, where it rated the risk of fraud as ‘substantial’.
