What is educational integrity?

APFEI defines educational integrity as a commitment to the key values of honesty, trust, equity, respect and responsibility, and the translation of these values into action (adapted from the Center for Academic Integrity "The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity" 1999). This view of integrity involves much more than a commitment from students not to cheat. Academic integrity is multi-dimensional and is enabled by all those in the educational enterprise, from students to parents, instructors and administrators. It is for this reason that APFEI prefaces ‘integrity’ with ‘educational’ rather than ‘academic’. From the first conference in 2003, we have attempted to encapsulate the complex aspects and numerous stakeholders of integrity across the various educational sectors, with a clear intention not to limit the topic to universities.

What is APFEI?

The Asia-Pacific Forum for Educational Integrity (APFEI) is an inter-organisational body currently based in Australia whose mission is to collaborate towards the research and promotion of educational integrity. The Forum aims to provide a platform for educators across all sectors to investigate, collaborate and access resources in the field of educational integrity. In addition, APFEI also aims to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region to take a leadership role in the relatively new field of educational integrity.
