The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) invites students and interested individuals to enroll in online anti-corruption education courses via the website https://aced.nacc.go.th. Those who pass the required assessments will receive an online certificate. The initiative aims to foster a new generation and a society that is intolerant of corruption, promoting a culture of integrity among the youth, students, and the general public.
Niwatchai Kasemmongkol, the Secretary-General of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), emphasized the importance of instilling and developing a new generation of citizens who participate in creating a corruption-free Thai society. The NACC aims to instill values of honesty in the youth, students, and family units, which are crucial in shaping the lifestyle of the new generation. As part of this effort, the NACC has developed the "Anti-Corruption Education" curriculum tailored to people of different ages, from infancy to working adults. The goal is to cultivate a culture of integrity, with the curriculum serving as a preventive measure against corruption, akin to a vaccine that builds immunity against corruption more effectively than punitive measures.
Secretary-General Niwatchai added that, in pushing the anti-corruption curriculum into the education system, the NACC has coordinated with various government and private sector agencies, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation, the Office of the Basic Education Commission, the Department of Learning Encouragement, and other educational institutions. Additionally, the NACC's provincial offices across the country provide guidance on the curriculum and monitor its implementation each academic year. The collaboration has been well received, with support from the National Statistical Office in assessing the success of instilling values of honesty.
In conclusion, Secretary-General Niwatchai noted that due to high interest in the anti-corruption education courses, the NACC has opened access to the general public through the "Anti-Corruption Education Platform" website. This platform offers various levels of courses, including early childhood, primary education, secondary education, vocational education, higher education, courses for educational personnel, government and state enterprise employees, and courses for the general public. The courses cover topics like distinguishing between personal and public interests and the role of citizens in social responsibility. Upon completing the courses and passing the assessments, participants will receive a certificate. Interested individuals can register and participate in the courses free of charge via the website https://aced.nacc.go.th
