The First test in English
Read the text carefully then do the activities.
Education is central to preventing corruption. Even clear laws and regulations and well-designed
institutions will not be able to prevent corruption, unless citizens actively demand accountability from
government and institutions.
The attitudes and expectations of citizens are crucial in building a responsive public administration.
Therefore, fostering attitudes that do not tolerate corruption is at the core of Transparency international’s
(TI’s) work. Ethics education for young people can help break the cycle of corruption, as today’s youth will
become the potential leaders of tomorrow.
However, anti-corruption education does not work in isolation. The environment in which children
grow up plays a decisive role in shaping their attitudes. Ethics education must be part of a broader effort to
improve governance and reduce corruption. Within this framework, children must have an appropriate and
conducive learning environment that values integrity.
