The document summarizes the results of a survey of the academic integrity policies and practices of the Swiss Group of International Schools. The survey found that while most schools have an academic integrity policy, awareness of these policies is low among students and teachers. It also found that librarians play a limited role in teaching about academic integrity due to lack of time and support from colleagues and administrators.
