Academic integrity is exposed as cheating scandals unfold in developing and developed countries alike. From the UK to Cameroon via France, Canada, Japan and the USA, there is a crisis of integrity in the world’s examination systems.
Meritocratic ethics at national qualification level are at stake following allegations over the use of high tech watches in the UK with specially programmed software designed for cheating in exams, skewing exam results at the Cameroon National School of Administration and Magistracy.
In terms of cheating statistics, Professor Donald McCabe, leading expert in academic integrity, recently wrote in The Canadian Journal of Higher Education that a study of over 4,500 high school students found the following:

Great reporting on a disturbing trend. As corruption in society had been generally a business and government concern, it is clear now from where the root of the problem may stem. The lack of integrity is a breakdown in societal norms and expectations and is progressively growing.

I applaud you for taking this topic to task.
