Developing the character of the next generation is something that the Character Education Week Initiative is enthusiastic about. The School of Science and Technology, together with its esteemed partners, firmly believes that a child’s ability to build their character is essential to their success in the twenty-first century.
What do they represent? Core ethical values, such as citizenship, respect, accountability, devotion, duty, caring, honesty, compassion, leadership, integrity, and much more, are universally upheld and are essential to the flourishing of society.
Prepare to be inspired, motivated, and moved as we collectively champion the cause of character education.
