Summary/Abstract: In the current context, the educational system in Romania faces a rather high phenomenon of corruption, generated among teachers as well as among students, pupils and, last but not least, parents. At the same time, it should be emphasized that this phenomenon should not be generalized, because, at the same time, the Romanian school has in its structure professors that are dedicated to their profession and honest teachers who want to reach performances with their students. Among the main factors determining this phenomenon facing not only the educational system but also the society as a whole are the economic factors, the lack of stability in legislation, the rigidity of the bureaucracy, and the lack of adequate education in the sense of scarce awareness by preschoolers, pupils, students, of the effects of corruption and the risk people who violate criminal law are subject to. The main corruption crimes and malfeasance while in office regulated and punished by the criminal law committed by educational staff are quite numerous and some of them shall be subject of the following analysis, such as: bribery (both in the form of offering and accepting), lobbying, receiving undue benefits and abuse of office.
