Restoring Character Education in Schools

Restoring character education in schools means re‑introducing structured programs that teach values such as respect, responsibility, honesty, and empathy alongside academic subjects. It typically involves a curriculum of lessons, activities, and school‑wide initiatives—like service projects, mentorship, and positive‑behavior incentives—designed to develop students’ moral and social skills, improve school climate, and prepare them for civic life. Many districts are reviving these programs in response to concerns that academic focus alone has left gaps in students’ personal development. Views Nigeria
