Is it possible to enhance integrity through the education syatem?Can the universities lead the way?

This education system has in the past been used to shape people's attitudes and beliefs.It is against this background that i remain convinced that the education system offers a fantastic opportunity to fight and reduce corruption by enhancing and integrating core values of the society into the learning enviroment. The education system is a vast and complex one and i thought the universities are the least complicated as they have some degree of autonomy.This is the reason my main focuss has been the university community. Indeed how prepared are the graduates that are churned out of universities each year to deal with the ethical dilemmas that are out there in the work place?. Is there a way the universities can partner with other stakeholders like the employers and students and the government to determine the core values that should be enshrined in every academic programmes?
These are just but a few concerns that keep popping in my mind when i think of how we can reduce corruption from the society. Let me know what you think.
cheers!!!

  1. Integrity and personal conviction over ethical standard has to deal with a lot of personal choice, which heavily based on our acceptance of the standard of ethical issue in life.

    Just think about that from a logical way, acceptance and the behaviour carried out by their perception right, then the culture to influence those people somehow plays an important role here.

    So Does university really have the impact on the society......
    Guess we might be even more influence by those pop music more than them......

    Since what we are dealing here is not something can be changed by certain group of people.

    However university might be able to act as one of the education channel to let students understand more about the harm of doing so, or the benefit of putting a stop sign on corruption.

    These just my personal opinion, welcome to give some feedbacks
