The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) has found 33 academics from eight universities guilty of academic fraud after having paid for their names to be associated with areas of academic research. The MHESI said it will also investigate 100 more lecturers believed to have done the same.
Dr Sirirurg Songsivilai, permanent secretary of the MHESI, revealed that 34 universities had run a check on their lecturers to see if any purchases of, or ghostwritten, academic papers were associated with their names.
