Tune into an insightful episode of The Agenda with Georgia Tolley on Dubai Eye 103.8 , featuring Dr Zeenath Reza Khan, Associate Professor in Information Sciences at UOWD and Founding President of the Centre for Academic Integrity in the UAE. This podcast episode offers a compelling look into the recent legislative developments in the UAE and India aimed at combating exam cheating, including the implications of Federal Law (33) 2023 in the UAE and India's Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Bill.
In this thought-provoking discussion, Dr Khan explores the multifaceted aspects of academic integrity, shedding light on:
- How will the UAE's fines of up to 200,000 Dirhams reshape the landscape of academic honesty;
- What is the percentage of students who admit to deliberately cheating;
- How parental involvement in homework can unintentionally teach the wrong lesson;
- How AI and online technologies are challenging traditional academic integrity;
- What is contract cheating, and why is it the biggest threat to academic honesty today;
Dr Khan's expertise provides a deep dive into the current state of academic integrity, highlighting the need for continuous evolution in educational policies and practices to address emerging challenges.
