National Anti-Corruption Curriculum To Be Implemented From Next Year
With the absence of corporal punishment in our education system, the national anti-corruption curriculum will place more emphasis on values education in young people lives. The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption manager corruption prevention, Kolora Naliva made this statement while addressing the national anti-corruption curriculum pilot phase workshop at Nadi Technical College in Nadi yesterday.
The curriculum, she added is developed to serve as a guiding document for teachers to act as a reference in teaching the students.
“It is crucial to understand that the ultimate objective of the curriculum is to shape a personality in children that will drive these future leaders to live free of corruption as the problem of corruption is one of the biggest global issues,” Ms Naliva said. She reminded primary and secondary teachers at the workshop that they have a responsibility to greatly impact the lives of students and that they should be taught positively. “The national anti-corruption curriculum will see the integration of anti-corruption lessons into the current national education curriculum, this is in line with the focus for FICAC in investing in the education and training of young minds to have a culture of resistance towards unethical values and corruption in society,” Ms Naliva said.
The curriculum is expected to be implemented from next year.
