Quo Vadis higher education

M. Anthony David.

Abstract
For years, doctors around the world have cheated while taking exams. A recent CNN investigation found doctors taking their board exams in radiology memorizing test questions, creating sophisticated banks of what are known as “recalls”.
Cheating at colleges and universities is nothing new. In 1964, a report of large-scale cheating in-volving 5,000 students studying inaround100 insti-tutions was formally tabled. Fully 75% of the stu-dents were found guilty of various degrees of “ac-ademic dishonesty”.Recently, the Josephson Institute of Ethics in an appraisal of 40,000 high school students, found admittance of cheating in 60%. The Harvard University which prides itself on incubating America’s elite in the world of law, business and politics, revealed that 125 students taking a course were suspected of cheating on a single class.

Key words: Higher education, Medical education
