Macmillan Publishers has been ordered to pay $17m and banned from
World Bank tenders for at least three years for paying officials to
win an education deal in South Sudan.

The company admitted that a representative of Macmillan Education made
"improper and unauthorised payments" to local officials in its
unsuccessful bid to win a multimillion-pound contract to print English
language teaching and school curriculum materials. The tender was part
of a $45.9m project to develop the school curriculum, train thousands
of teachers, build 100 schools and refurbish a further 50.
