A report has revealed that Nigerians recorded the highest fraud among international students’ applications submitted to the British universities.
In a report on Thursday by The PIE News, a UK-based international education news publication, Nigeria recorded an eight per cent fraud signal rate, higher than those from Pakistan (7.3 per cent), Ghana (5.1 per cent) and India (4.2 per cent).
The report by Qualification Check, a verification company, said revelations showed in the current admissions cycle, a new account.
According to the report, which analysed almost 18,000 applications across 40 UK universities, the overall suspected qualification fraud rate rose from 2.86 per cent to 3.95 per cent, representing a 38 per cent increase year-on-year.
The company, however, clarified that the countries mentioned referred to where the qualifications were awarded and not necessarily the nationality of the applicants.
