Anti-Corruption Education Guide Launched, Education Minister: Not to Become a Subject

JAKARTA - The Minister of Basic and Secondary Education (Mendikdasmen) Abdul Mu’ti stated that the Guidebook and Teaching Materials for Anti-Corruption Education launched today will not become a subject in all schools. Mu’ti explained that the book will instead integrate anti-corruption education with existing subjects and extracurricular activities in every school. “The guidebook is not a subject, but part of a guide to build an ecosystem in the education environment, both in schools, families, society, and media. Therefore, the guidebook integrates school subjects with extracurricular and co-curricular activities,” said Mu’ti after the launch event at the Ministry of Home Affairs office in Jakarta on Monday (11/5/2026). He highlighted President RI Prabowo Subianto’s message that not a single Rupiah or citizen should be misused or corrupted. “All of that becomes part of our challenge in building honest individuals, individuals with integrity, and always protecting themselves and staying away from all forms of corruption,” Mu’ti said. Mu’ti stated that through the guidebook, they are striving to strengthen the hidden curriculum that creates a culture and environment of good governance and clean government. Previously, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), together with the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) and the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), launched the Anti-Corruption Education teaching materials. Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Akhmad Wiyagus said that with this book, all regional heads are asked to prepare derivative regulations in the regions in the form of Regional Regulations (Perda) and other technical instructions. He said this aims to ensure the implementation of anti-corruption education by utilising the available guide and teaching materials. “Then integrate anti-corruption education into the school curriculum, both intracurricular and extracurricular, by reviewing anti-corruption education in each region and making updates if necessary,” said Akhmad. Akhmad also instructed regional heads through the Education Office to report the results of anti-corruption education implementation through the KPK’s platform. “Then strengthen regional inspectorate monitoring and evaluation of implementation by educational units,” he added.
