At a primary school in Sivas, the administration has launched an initiative called the ‘Honesty Cupboard’ to encourage students to embrace honesty in their daily lives. This program is part of a broader effort to instill core values in young learners, helping them develop ethical habits from an early age. Each month, the school focuses on a different value through dedicated projects and activities, allowing students to explore and practice these principles in a hands-on, engaging way.
The initiative aligns with the ‘Türkiye Century Education Model,’ an educational framework introduced under the guidance of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This model emphasizes the holistic development of students, aiming to cultivate not only academic knowledge but also moral character, virtuous actions, and lifelong habits. By integrating such values-based programs into the curriculum, the school hopes to foster responsible, principled individuals who can contribute positively to society. Programs like the Honesty Cupboard highlight the growing emphasis on character education in Turkey’s schools.
