Abstract

The general elaboration of human begins in elementary school and continues throughout the period of studies. It is evident that study years at university are under the influence of various factors that activate cheating behaviours. Among these factors we mention the social pressure for success, the perception that everyone is cheating, social background, family, etc. Education challenges in recent years focus mainly on combating and reducing academic dishonesty as a worrying phenomenon for education and student youth; as issues affecting the future of young professionals and as a consequence for the future of the efficient functioning of public services.
