Introduction
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world's perspective" Nelson Mandela (May his soul rest in peace). A person's education is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not they will become a productive member of society. That is why when considering an education the quality of the education is almost as important as the education itself. Egypt, one of the largest country's in the world in terms of culture, population, and problems. One of the major problem is education and unemployment were somehow is related. The situation in Egypt is similar to that of other developing countries. The Declaration on Science and the Use of Scientific Knowledge adapted at the World Conference on Science, held at Budapest 26th June till 1st July 1999, stated that: “In all countries, and in particular the developing countries, there is a need to strengthen scientific research in higher education, including postgraduate programmes, taken into account national priorities.” According to the HDI (Human Development Index), Egypt is ranked 123 in the HDI, and the seventh in lowest ten countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The level of education in public and private university cannot be measured or consumed easily because some of university graduates are very succeeding in their life and some are in the worst rates and economic classes. Even some of the uneducated people are very good in business so succeeding or not is a measuring level but it still fail to determine which of both universities is better. With the focus of the Human Rights in Egypt, students in both university have a lot of rights to gain but do the students really gain all the rights they should be g...

...s of AD. In particular, 84 % of the students at the private university and 83 % at public university had asked someone who had formerly taken a test about content covered in it; moreover 77 % of the students in private and 78 % in public had worked in groups on individual projects; whereas for the plagiarized work 61 %in private and 53 % in public did submit a plagiarized work; while for allowing another student to see their exam answers 55 % of the students in private university and 53 % in public did this; 47 % in private and 35 % in public copied from other student paper/exam. Furthermore, 41 % of private university students and 40 % of public used notes during an exam that is not permitted. Undoubtedly, whether at public or at the private university, cheating was found to be rampant. Thus further investigation for private vs. public AD prevalence is needed
Education gives people the skills they need to help move themselves out of a life of poverty and into one of prosperity. Not only does it help people prosper, but with education comes improved health. With the proper education, people are more able to prevent disease and use the health services at their disposal effectively. As well as a greater knowledge of health and how to take care of your body, education helps people earn more money and creates an economic growth. It is shown that in many Third World countries, with each extra year of schooling, people earn ten percent higher wages. The higher wages, in turn, contribute to a national economic growth. Education supports the growth of civil society, democracy, and political stability, permitting people to know about their rights and obtain the skills and awareness needed to use the rights. This is an important article in the argument because it shows the benefits of a substantial education, which many of the Third World countries are
Cheating is a rising issue throughout the educational system. It is an unfair and immoral method to achieve higher marks on an exam or a better essay score. William Chace discuses in his article, “A Question of Honor”, how well students keep up to being academically honest. Chace’s article is very effective due to the crucial points of logical reasoning, pressure, and cheating itself. He utilizes logos and pathos to appeal to his audience. These arguments are demonstrated in the essay that connect to the question of are students cheating and why they do it.
As an immigrant came from Middle East, my first targeted benefit to have from this land is; to get educated well and have my American College degree. The reason is not because we as Egyptians don’t have education association over there. But because the American education is more helpful for us more than the Egyptian one. So, from the first session taking about education in the English class, and my mind is comparing and judging everything between the two education systems of Egypt and United states of America. It is very clear that from outcomes you can always know the incomes. By having the American college degree, you can be accepted to work or continue studying on most countries of the world. But the same case is not happening with the Egyptian
Pressures from society to obtain a successful career require achieving an education in most cases. In today's economy having a thriving career could depend on our educational background as part of the ingredient to fuel our lifestyles. Students attending high school or college can relate to the pressures of sustaining adequate grades. Students who are overwhelmed with trying to maintain higher GPA standards push the academic barriers using technology to cheat. Our society is more advanced with technology such as computers, cell phones, text message systems, as well as various other electronic devices that could provide the avenue for a desperate student seeking a way to cheat in order to receive a higher GPA score. According to Ad Council (1999),"Grades, rather than education, have become the major focus of many students" (Ad Council, 1999). For those students in high school maintaining high GPA's could equal college scholarship programs needed to attend college. Students with peer pressures as well as pressures from parents to achieve higher grades could thrust students who are not motivated to study, to resort to cheating as an easy solution to an unethical problem. This research paper will discuss ways in which students are using technology to cheat. Other aspects of this paper will include statistics on academic cheating as well as ways instructors are catching students cheating. The pros and cons after using cheating detection programs as well as statistics that show significant changes after using the detection programs will also be discussed.
In their 2013 detailed report on academic dishonesty throughout education, Stemming The Tide of Academic Dishonesty, the authors stated , “ [Academic dishonesty] has been with us for at least decades, but has increased in recent years perhaps related to the impact of technology” (162). Plagiarism is easier to commit because students can copy and paste the research and the intellectual property of others into their work and submit the assignments as their own, original work. Students can search for answers during their tests and quizzes on the Internet using electronic devices such as smartphones (Roche and Aaron 170). Also, colleges are implementing more online courses for their students. Although online classes have their benefits, academic honesty can also occur. According to research found in Stemming The Tide of Academic Dishonesty, “ One professor from the University of California, Berkeley was astounded to find groups of 20 people in a class submitting the same homework (Pappano, 2012).” (qtd. in Aaron and Roche
...Almost every student nowadays can admit to cheating at some point in their educational career, but motives as to why they cheat vary and can’t be narrowed down to one reason. There are many excuses as to why all levels of students chose to cheat no matter how wrong or unexpected it is. Cheating is a large problem, but members of universities and schools can discourage it and try to prevent it as much as possible. Not only should it be frowned upon, but it also should be a priority to make it next to impossible to do. Advisers can reduce the temptation of cheating by significantly decreasing the amount of true and false and multiple choice questions on exams and quizzes. Also by understanding the students social and parental pressures in a person at that age’s life is important and contributes to decreasing the amount of students cheating in schools and universities.
Academic dishonesty, specifically cheating and plagiarism, recently has increased in popularity. Students often justify unethical academic behavior. Technological innovations, like the cellular telephone, have provided students with new methods of cheating. Plagiarism has also been influenced through technologies, specifically internet companies have emerged that provide unethical solutions to academic assignments.
It is noticeable that the system of education is changing from time to time based on financial issues and how the world is growing. In the past, individuals taught the education system from the oldest member of the family to children, and their members were charging fees from the families that sent their children to them. Which meant that education was an important thing in all ages. Nowadays, the education is shaped to an official system run by professional people in governments and many countries invest high amounts towards education which makes evidence of how important it is in our current life. Every country has a different system of education based on their financial stability, government infrastructure and the standard of the government officials. It is noticeable that there is a big difference between the education in developing countries and the prevailing system in developed countries .In my essay I will discuss some reasons for these differences...
Higher Education (University Level) – It should be provided according to aptitude. That is, if anyone meets the essential education standar...
Cheating during examinations means that students or colleagues copy other people ideas and answers during examinations hours. Statistics shows that 75% - 98% students from college admits that sometimes they are cheating in exam. There are three mains problem for cheating during examinations which are save note in phone to view it during examination, write down note on their cloth, stationery or body, and having academic pressure. Due to these problems, there are three mains solution which are banning an electronic gadget from examination hall or room, make spot check on student who enter examination hall or room, and make time schedule.
We might want to first follow that question with another question. What is cheating and why do so many people do it? Most people would agree that cheating is deceitful and one who obtains answers by cheating is not practicing good integrity. We could further add that cheating also prevents the student from having to put in long hours of studying and preparation. Recent technology has made this “time saving method” even more efficient.
We have great human and natural resources. But we have very poor education as Egypt come in the rank 139 out of 140 countries. Egyptian education is in the worst era in its history,” said Kamal Mogheeth, a researcher at the National Center for Educational Research and Development,” and the scientific research budget is as low as 2.1 billion Egyptian pound this number is less than 1% of the general budget. According to WIPO (2015) Egypt come in the rank 100 out of 141 in the Global innovation index. According to CAPMAS (2015) Egypt come in the rank 129 out of 148 in the Scientific research index. When it comes to media freedom Egypt is from the worst countries in Media Freedom as it come in the rank 158 from 180 countries according to Reporters without boarders (2015). This environment that lack a good quality of life and good education and do not spend a lot on scientific research is not good environment that encourage people to innovate and become creative. So people Immigrate to find good environment that offer good education and spend more on scientific

...centuries. However, it has to be noticed that the system is facing some unneglectable issues as this paper discussed above. The government and school authorities ought to spare no effort to better reform and regulate the existing issues: lower the costs and tuitions of colleges and universities while still retaining the high and rigorous standard of teaching and learning; improve the management of enrollment to remain the prestigious reputation of universities. On the other hand, instead of doubting higher education, young people should always have the faith to trust the value of higher education and continue to improve their abilities to contribute to society and higher education. Although the society will continue to change in an unforeseeable way, government and individuals’ passion and enthusiasm for establishing a better higher education system will never stop.
