The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which cheating i
n academic work occurs at this university. 58 participants registered for a
postgraduate diploma in education responded to a questionnaire on cheating
. Some students admitted engaging in every behaviour: however. the percenta
ge of students so engaged was much lower than those reported among British
and American institutions of higher learning. This may partly Le attributed
to respondents being reluctant to divulge their dishonesty.
