Abstract

Morality, as a human function, morality, as a human action in both the school and the greater social environment, is nowadays considered compulsory because of repeated delinquency. It is generally believed that such infringing behavior could be better coped with during the individual’s developmental stage, i.e. during school years. Teachers are the ones considered to be able to play a significant role in the improvement of the youths’ moral development. Thus, beside anything else, an aspect of the teacher’s role in the school is also the children’s’ moral education. So, in order the teacher to be effective in this role as well, he/ she should be properly prepared. Such a preparation should aim at the personal improvement of the teacher’s moral development, as well as to the provision of knowledge concerning the ways in which the youth’s moral education is promoted.
