ETHICS IN HIGHER EDUCATION

VALUES-DRIVEN LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE

ISBN 978-2-88931-164-4

The values and virtues practised in universities heavily influence the leaders
of the future, but outside the limelight of excelling education institutions
there is a concerning violation of good practises and rise in unethical
behaviour. This book offers diverse insights from 19 different authors,
writing from eight countries in five continents, providing explanations and
recommendations for the ethical crisis present around the world which
can be mitigated by suitable education in ethics, particularly in higher
education institutions.
