The purpose of this article is to identify training strategies for an adequate teaching of ethics in higher education, in order to help overcoming the problem of corruption in Colombia. In other words, it seeks to answer the question: how to develop human and professional academic integrity in higher education, in order to help overcoming the problem of corruption in Colombia? To this end, three scenarios are proposed: 1) corruption is considered a socio-cultural and moral phenomenon with structural connotations; 2) theoretical references are drawn about the status quaestionis of ethics teaching practices in Colombia; 3) some training requirements are proposed with the aim of improving public ethics teaching practices in higher education and thus, training integral and transparent people and reducing the levels of corruption in Colombia.

Keywords : Corruption; Public Sector Ethics; Teaching Ethics; Human and Professional Integrity.
