Life-long learning means, in addition to acquiring skills and knowledge, refining our ethical positions and integrating them into our behaviour as social beings. Teaching ethics begins early in all cultures, for example, through storytelling and inculcating socially acceptable behaviour. What role does formal education play in developing ethical awareness in school children?

Two educators have taken on the task of writing a textbook in two volumes to address this question with a practical approach. Meredith Harbord and Sara Khan taught design at ABA – an IB World School in Muscat, Oman, and from this teaching collaboration, the idea for writing this book evolved. Over the past few years, they have presented at international conferences, written articles and run workshops for students and teachers. Together they have formed HK Educational Consultants and are available to collaborate with schools either online or in person.
