Anti-corruption education is a key pillar in preventing corruption in Indonesia. It is not limited to specialized courses; anti-corruption education can also be integrated into various areas of learning to foster character and a culture of integrity from an early age.
In addition to raising public awareness, this discussion also aims to identify challenges in implementing anti-corruption education and to foster collaboration between the KPK, academics, and civil society. Through this forum, it is hoped that concrete ideas will emerge to strengthen a more inclusive and sustainable education-based strategy for combating corruption.
This initiative also supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 16 on Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions through the strengthening of clean and accountable governance. Furthermore, the integration of anti-corruption education into various levels of education aligns with SDG 4 on Quality Education, which promotes character-building and integrity-based learning for the younger generation.
