To what extent do they feel protected by the academic community? Do they see themselves as playing an active role in preventing education fraud? What impact do new technologies and artificial intelligence have? Education fraud is a global phenomenon that affects all levels of education, with increased efforts at different levels to counter it. Among the actors involved in the fight against education fraud, students can play a significant role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;\">This article analyses the main findings of a study conducted by the Council of Europe Platform on Ethics, Transparency and Integrity in Education (ETINED) in cooperation with the Academic Equivalence Mobility Information Centre (CIMEA), in light of existing literature on students\u2019 perception of fraud in education and the role of new technologies. The aim is to support the identification of strategies for strengthening the culture of academic integrity within the wider academic community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><br \/>\neducation fraud; students; ETINED; ethics; Artificial Intelligence; academic integrity<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"display: inline-block; padding: 10px 20px; background-color: #ffcb03; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 0px;\" href=\"\/document\/articles\/2025\/Students-perceptions-of-education-fraud-An-evidence-based-study-to-explore-their-role-in-combating-it.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Share the article on your social media channels:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Elisa Petrucci, Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance (IHELG), Chiara Finocchietti, President of the ENIC Network Cite this article.
