JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri said the education pattern should contain anti-corruption elements and values.

The KPK sees that the current pattern of education relies more on the portion of teaching and learning that leads to improving the mind, body and skills. Firli said it was actually not wrong.

"However, this education pattern should be able to add anti-corruption elements and values from an early age, starting from the age of children in the playgroup to students and continuing until they work to shape and maintain the character of the nation's anti-corruption children," said Firli in his written statement, quoted from Antara. , Saturday April 9th.

The KPK, he said, saw the need to design education in this republic so that it still has integrity with good morals by teaching idealism that is full of anti-corruption values.

"That is, simplicity, honesty, and a high sense of responsibility to form the strong character of the Indonesian nation as an anti-corruption nation," said Firli.

The importance of anti-corruption education, he said, was also motivated by the fact that there are still state officials, officials, regional heads, politicians, and law enforcement officers who are well educated in science and religion who are doing corruption.

"It is ironic, on the one hand, they are educated people, have access to adequate knowledge and understand religious teachings, but are very minimal and do not even have noble integrity, far from being virtuous because they like to scavenge wealth by vanity, namely corruption," he said.

He said the lack of morals, morals and ethics had led them to become involved in corruption.

"The involvement of educated people in the puddle of corruption is not a figment, considering this is real and true," said Firli.

He also revealed that most of the corruptors who were caught by the KPK held S1, S2, S3 degrees and even professors.

"Without reducing the role of educators, we must dare to be honest that today this nation is still witnessing different and despicable things from these educated people which are contradictory to the goals and ideals of education itself," he said.
