The paper highlights the need for a combined approach that includes reforming the judiciary, engaging parents, and strengthening school moral programs to help students develop strong ethical values. It shows how corruption in institutions can harm the process of raising responsible and morally aware citizens. Finally, the paper offers recommendations to reduce the negative effects of judicial corruption on children’s moral education in secondary schools.
