The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has approved two sets of teaching material on anti-corruption to be used for colleges and universities.
The move follows the the government’s decision on bringing anti-corruption teaching content to schools.
The material was complied by the MoET and is aimed at raising the awareness of both teachers and students about the fight against one of the most serious problems plaguing the country.
The teaching programme was designed to make students understand the concept, characteristics of corruption as well as its bad impacts on society. It also instills the legal and punitive ramifications for those found to have violated corruption law.
In 2013, the prime minister issued a directive requiring high schools and institutions of higher learning to include anti-corruption material to their curricula in the 2013-2014 school year. This was after it was piloted for three years in accordance with a government decision issued in late 2009.
