Academic and Research Integrity

Academic Integrity is the foundation on which all of academia stands. It is in schools, classrooms, in corridors and canteens that students, the future citizens of the world, gather an understanding of what is right and what is wrong, what is meant by integrity, being truthful, responsible, and respectful. It is here that they develop life skills of honesty and fairness and take them into the real world and as members of the greater community, practicing these skills in their everyday lives and at their workplaces.

​

Ensuring and upholding integrity in education provides for a sustainable, constructive future, a platform that fosters, encourages and celebrates innovation and contributes to happy individuals, happy workplaces and a happy society.

​

Research is crucial to any area or discipline to develop better understanding of current issues, challenges, and barriers, to discover novel approaches to solving problems, addressing issues and finding new ways to overcome challenges and barriers. Research done right, with the right approach, right methodology, to ensure the results are reliable and repeatable, thus making them valuable. It then becomes imperative that research is conducted with transparency, honesty, responsibility, and respect for the participants (human or animals) and the data, in other words with integrity.
