Academic dishonesty is a prevalent issue in the education system that arouses the interest of well-meaning compatriots. The dilemma has spread like wide-fire in that it is not limited to secondary schools; it is also a matter of concern in higher learning institutions. Although contemporary society is far from being the first to be confronted with the issue of understudy, the level of academic dishonesty in the modern education system has risen drastically compared to past experiences, particularly with the advent of technology. Academic dishonesty is any illegal act to falsify grades or use someone\u2019s work without crediting the owner. It could be cheating in the examination or copying someone else\u2019s assignment; academic dishonesty is situational.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The study addresses the negative influence of academic dishonesty on students in higher institutions through educational counselling strategies. Many students engage in academic dishonesty for good grades and are not ready to give in to what it takes to achieve it legally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The study investigated the causative factors of academic dishonesty of students in higher institutions through interviews and found that parental and societal pressure, laziness, and fear of failure are major reasons for students\u2019 involvement in academic dishonesty. The study establishes that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Group Counselling, Client-centered Therapy and Leadership Training Counselling as the educational counselling strategies that can be employed to curb academic dishonesty among students of higher institutions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
