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:

“72% of students reported one or more instances of serious cheating on written work”.

 

McCabe is often referred to as the “founding father” of research in the area of academic integrity.

    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.

    As your article clearly states, poverty and the lack of opportunity in general often drive negative behaviours, regardless of country. In developed and not so developed countries, the issue is the same.

    I applaud you for taking this topic to task.
