🏫 Anti-corruption education should start at school.
Anti-corruption education isn't only about knowledge of laws and responsibility for their violation, but also about the formation of a culture of integrity and consciousness of students.
🌱 Children learn to identify corruption situations, understand their harmful impact on society and realize their own role in preventing corruption. It helps young people understand that each person can make a significant contribution to creating an honest and transparent society.
In order to popularize anti-corruption education, the expert of the Foundation for Institutional Development, @Olena Karpova, conducted anti-corruption lessons for teachers and high school students of school No. 245 in Kyiv.
In the lesson they talked about:
🔹 corruption and integrity;
🔹 international standards in the field of combating corruption, in particular the UN Convention against Corruption, which is 20 years old;
🔹 the experience of Singapore's economic miracle, where investments in education and the fight against corruption played an important role;
🔹 digital tools that can be used by those who want to live in a country without corruption;
🔹 whistleblowers and guarantees of their protection.
Students were talked about writing off separately. Using this example, it was understood that writing off, like corruption, is a conditionally easy way to achieve what you want, but in the future it can lead to negative consequences.
Teaching children integrity and intolerance of corruption has positive results in the future, as today's schoolchildren will make virtuous decisions already in adulthood and participate in the development of a state without corruption.
