Cheating among University of Transkei students

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.
