Keywords:
character, decency, morals, religious, schoolsAbstract
This research article will include the underlying principle and opinion for the existence of morality, standards, beliefs and moral fiber in the program of teaching and learning. Today in the modern world, where science and technology had relaxed our worries but at same time, it contributed a lot in increasing the complexity of societal living and undermining the significance of moral values and principles. In order to have an educational system fully delivering its responsibilities and to develop morality, it needs an accountable agency to impart morals, otherwise it will just remain short of ethics and principles just as science education.
