We provide a compelling and clear framework that ensures the transformative learning of the teachers, empowering them to internalize ethical values and apply them in the classroom through role modelling, practical methodologies and sensitivity to the context.
Ethics Education places the teacher at the heart of the process as she/he creates the spaces in the classroom to dialogue, embraces diversity and allows for questioning and the development of critical thinking.
The Ethics Education Framework is a positive approach towards addressing root causes of inequalities, conflicts and violence; a golden thread that can cut across the curriculum and through different subjects.
Ethics Education is an avenue to connect curriculum, co-curricular learning and hidden curriculum towards Learning to Live Together; it supports bringing the local context in to the classroom and engaging with local community through sensitive approaches.
