Ethics Should Not be Taught in Subjects of School--From Japan

Hi, everyone!! How's it going? It's 1:50 pm here in Japan and time to deliver my today's column:

A chairperson of Central Education Council (panel of experts in Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) announced in a press conference of Japan National Press Club (notorious for the closed nature) in 26th last month, "Ethics should not be taught in subjects, but adults including teachers should teach through their experiences." Yomiuri newspaper reported on April 26, 2007.

Youngsters including small kids are sensitive enough to know that how this society is going whether or not schools teach the ethics as one of the subjects in school education. Whatever government tries to teach them, real society will teach them what the real society is.

It is getting difficult for superficial education to maintain the effectiveness for long.

One of big reasons will be the development of internet. Surfing on the internet, we can find that so many people are dropping their complaints that tend to disclose the truths in many regards although literacy is necessary to judge the reliability of the information to some degrees.

For the education of the ethics, society where adults are living has to be corrected first. Kids will learn from this society sooner or later. If this society is out of order, their positive mind will get diminished and end up being under despair.


Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!!
