Dear sirs,
It goes without saying that character education is of paramount importance nowadays. I think that we need more attention to the being rather than to the knowing! Our kids should be guided correctly towards becoming good students to reach their final stage to become good citizens. In fact, a good student is a good citizen!
It’s the role of education to implement the culture of character through a variety of traits that would qualify our kids to succeed in their cognitive and emotional lives!
