Abstract

This study aims to increase the degree of accountability of educational actors with respect to ethics and academic integrity, by determining the degree of knowledge and compliance with the rules governing ethical and academic conduct, identifying risk factors leading to violation of ethical rules and providing remedial control mechanisms.
