In line with its efforts to help to produce a “more ethical” and committed future generation, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is pushing for inclusion of new “integrity subjects” in the tertiary level in order to fight corruption.
CHED Chairman J. Prospero De Vera III, in a statement, said that CHED is partnering with student groups and companies in a “whole-of-nation approach” in battling corruption.
Some representatives of universities and students groups under the Integrity Initiative spearheaded by the Makati Business Club recently met with De Vera to push for a closer academe-government-business partnership in combating corruption. “As we increase the number of young people with the proper moral compass and informed with the relevant laws, we will create a wide network of graft busters around the country, that with proper training can document and report corrupt practices,” De Vera said.
