My answer will borrow the title of an old famous movie. Morality-wise, there are "the good, the bad, and the ugly" in the educational systems. In few countries, there are still moral values among the teachers & the students. However, there is a decline in moral values in most countries & I shall give few examples:

- You must have heard about violent gangs, vandalists & hooligans who emanated from schools & universities.

- "Still water runs deep" as the saying goes but at certain point, exposure is bound to occur. Haven't we heard of many cases in which there were harassment & bullying in the educational settings including students & teachers?

- There is an increase of students' efforts for cheating in exams & assignments and there are also many cases of dishonesty among the teachers in carrying out their duties. A teacher, who gives the students easy exams to win their hearts or who plays with their grades for the same purpose, is both immoral & unethical.

All intellectuals have the duty to work on spreading the moral values in all places by giving examples for others to follow otherwise we will all be in an increasing state of trouble.

Moral education and character education are important attributes for students to acquire. Current literature suggests that they: 1) approach closely the frontier of church & state, and 2) moral values are difficult to measure. My dissertation questions address non-cognitive skills and soft skills (social /life/personality) in federally funded college prep programs for marginalized youth (i.e. Upward Bound). The dilemma in developing, shaping, and fostering these skills is that current trends in education focus on academic achievement (math, science, engineering), test scores, etc., and  are thus reluctant to acknowledge the importance of soft skills for college AND career, being they are not easy to access. Borrowing from your statement, "From ancient times, social skills have been powerful tools to help individuals." Through the lens of critical discourse analysis, I will look at how Upward Bound enhances Motivation, Self-management, and Perseverance. I believe that fostering these skills, and others, will boost the standard of morality in society, without using the term morality directly.    

When new teachers enter the workforce, many are surprised by the difficulties that come with educating students. Mentoring can help these educators transition more smoothly into their roles.

Traditional educational systems are strong in imparting moral values. Morals literally emerge from humans. Systems that no longer require live interpersonal interactions between students and between teachers and students have the tendency to relegate morals to the sidelines. 

I agree with Eddie's reply, especially about interpersonal interactions. Technology implements the use of tools & gadgets, which are void of feelings, thus cannot transfer moral values. If students were somehow credited with character skills, society would most likely prosper.

I know for sure that in my country and in Singapore, moral values are CENTRAL in the education system.

'Implicit in teaching science has been the teaching of a set of values. However, its presence has remained unacknowledged because of assumptions made that its products are value-free and that work of science involves positive values. Malaysian schools have introduced a set of noble values to be taught as a subject called moral education while at the same time expecting all subjects, including the sciences to actively inculcate these noble values in their lessons.'

Moral education to be introduced into the curriculum for elementary and junior high school students in 2015

I believe we need more commitment to morality. Every university should have code of ethics to be enforced.

Maybe these values are already present. As a classroom teacher in urban Los Angeles (all grades levels --math, PE, and Spec Ed) since the 1980s, I never found a need to "hide" and "lock" things from students. When students are given trust and responsibility as a  matter-of-fact, they tend to respond with higher expectations of themselves (i.e. self-regulation). Morality already exists; we as teachers need to support these sure-sign behaviors with verbal and written approval , including on-going semiotic reinforcement (gestures, body language, etc.). 

Reply to Dr. Matar: Certainly your assertions are accurate, but allow me to note that the media thrives on "drama". Gangs, bullying, school violence, weapons, teacher assault, harassment, apathy, drugs, promiscuous sex, teenage pregnancy, truancy, graffiti, disengagement, ....... Morality does indeed exist, and there are students who demonstrate positive dispositions, whether acquired from home, school, or community, or as innate character within themselves. To many, politeness and respect are as natural as breathing. I like to dwell on students' good-nature, their delightful attitudes, their enthusiasm for learning, regardless of their test scores and GPA, or which university they plan to attend (if any). Morality suffers when educations ignores the average student citizen--the student who aspires to raise a family, a future model-parent; a student whose attendance is near perfect. We (all) do not give neither enough credit nor attention to the average "good" individual. Our focus in on the polar extremes: the excellent or the disconnected student, because that's where DATA lies--and data lies--thus exposing our ineffectiveness as teachers. Real morality is obscured by education systems which do unjust favors by not applauding the everyday persistence, grit, zeal, resilience, perseverance, and self-regulated honesty of the "C" student. We, as educators should absorb some of the blame for this withering morality.     

Dear Keith, Your ideas are much appreciated. I admire your analysis with respect to the portion that is marginalized & ignored. I taught for 35 years at few schools & at few universities in my homeland & abroad. In the past, the picture was really "rosy" student-wise & staff-wise. As time went by, I observed a decline in moral values ,for sure, in both sides. Yes, the media thrives on dramatization of the events but I do not buy their goods! I go for first hand experience & on the spot.

Yes. There are indications. Education has become a mar scoring process and is meant a way to get a job. The only objective of students has reduced to secure enough marks by any means.  And that of teachers is just to make the students learn so called important questions that frequently appear in question papers and to train them to write examinations in an effective manner.  No matter what methods are used for gaining this.
