KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is working with the Higher Education Ministry to introduce studies on integrity and prevention of corruption as a module in the curriculum for higher education. MACC's Community Education division director Abdul Samat Kasah (pic) said the move was an effort by the commission to educate students about the value of integrity and to prevent corruption at all levels. "We are working with the curriculum committee and vice-chancellors of four public universities to include elements of integrity and anti-corruption measures in the education system. He said last year, the MACC had successfully included elements related to the prevention of bribery in textbooks used in Islamic Studies and Moral for Year Six students with the cooperation of the Education Ministry. Abdul Samat said the same elements had been added to text books used by Form One students and next year, the subject will be extended to Form Four students.
