developing students’ awareness of their
ethics and ethical stance and how this has
been influenced, but it also involves teaching
them to consider and apply ethical lenses to
different equality and justice issues and
encourages students to act in an ethically
responsible way in response to them.

that make the actions right and
wrong. it helps categorize different
values such as integrity discipline
and honesty among others and

allows an individual to make the
right choices. without ethics it will
be very difficult to regulate life and
act responsibly. while the
importance of ethics can't be
ignored in any walk of life it's
 Ethics in education are essential as they help
run the system smoothly. It sets the standards of
what's acceptable and what's not hence protecting
the interests of both the educators and the
learners.
 Ethics in education are applicable on both the
instructors as well as the students.

life. they not only impart education but also help
develop the personality of a student. as the
instructor often plays the role of a mentor and

every student despite their learning abilities.
They should treat every student equally and do
justice while taking an action. It's important that
an instructor understands that every student is
different and shouldn't be evaluated on the
same basis.

hold grudges and to intentionally treat students
unfairly. At the same time ethics in
education requires a student to respect the
instructor and abide by the rules set by them.
students should acquire academic integrity and
responsibility as well as practice self-discipline.
