Promoting Academic Integrity: The Role of a Compulsory Integrity Module in Higher
Education
The increasing prevalence of academic dishonesty in higher education has led institutions
like the University of South Africa (UNISA) to introduce compulsory modules on integrity in
education. This initiative is a response to the growing concerns surrounding plagiarism,
cheating, and unethical conduct among students. The introduction of such a module aims
to instill ethical values in students, ensuring that they uphold honesty and integrity
throughout their academic journey and beyond. However, while this initiative has numerous
benefits, it also presents certain challenges that must be addressed. This essay explores
the advantages and disadvantages of a compulsory integrity module in higher education,
highlighting its impact on students, institutions, and the broader academic community.
