Students vow not to cheat
Play
Administrators and students at 27 universities vowed zero tolerance yesterday on "cheating" and declared their readiness to support national anti-graft campaigns.
Together they signed a pledge during the launch of the “Thai students not cheating” campaign at Thammasat University’s outdoor stadium.
Thammasat rector Somkid Lertpaitoon likens the campaign to vaccination. Graduates would become quality workers “immune” to all types of fraud.
Fighting temptation would be included in the curriculum and the student network would hold events in various regions every three months.
A poll by Assumption University showed that 92 per cent of students had copied classmates’ reports in the past 12 months and 75 per cent had cheated on exams. The survey found seeds of corruption among students, teachers, government officers and company employees.
