We are well aware of the importance of educational institutions in enhancing human values, as they are the cognitive castles that play their role in the process of socialization and educating students on the concept of integrity, and from here comes the role of the Ministry of Education in partnership with civil society institutions and regional and international organizations concerned with transparency issues and fighting corruption, to integrate education ethics on the culture of integrity in the curricula, especially since the ministry recently announced a plan To develop curricula.
Perhaps it was appropriate to propose an effective mechanism to find a curriculum and a practical course of education on the culture of integrity, so that it is studied at the level of secondary schools and universities, as educating students about the values of integrity and transparency and training them in its practice, but in the context of strengthening these values in the hearts of young people as influential and effective force in society.
Perhaps the Japanese experience is the best proof, which links the Japanese Ministry of Education, known as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MeXT), closely related to enhancing the culture of integrity by integrating principles such as teamwork, perseverance, effort, and responsibility in its educational system. These values are essential pillars in Japanese culture, and encourage the curricula to focus on seriousness and diligence instead of mere talent and intelligence, and enhances the sense of responsibility and belonging to the group for students.
Many researchers and educators believe that education on the culture of integrity and combating corruption is a matter of learning, not education; Because integrity begins from a young age at home and then school and society, taking the “Self-Learning” strategy in the pursuit of students to develop their personalities by relying on themselves, which enhances them with self-confidence and bringing out positive change in their positions and behaviors in life.
The famous and well -known saying, “Education in childhood is like an engraving on the stone” means that the knowledge and skills acquired in the early childhood stage are easy to absorb, and it is established in the mind as a permanent effect, just like writing on the stone that remains fixed and does not go away easily, this great wisdom indicates that children have a superior ability to learn rapid learning, and the natural curiosity to explore the world around them, which makes them better to form the foundations of the foundations Strong for their characters and their life -long mental and social abilities. Hence, we see that the promotion of the principle of integrity needs to intensify and interfere the efforts of society as a whole, starting from the house through the school to society, as they are interconnected seminars, for students are the most affected groups of society, and because the outputs of this system are more influential, in the development of society and its future, through the reflection of what they learn to deal with their issues and issues of their society and for the sake of reaching this must be achieved. Among the values against corruption in the various educational curricula, in addition to the values of preserving public money from damage, theft and embezzlement, and rejecting all forms of corruption, including favoritism, mediation, and the importance and necessity of reporting the corrupt.
