The curriculum will see the integration of anti-corruption lessons into selected subjects like English, Social Science, Social Studies, Accounting and History, she said, adding that education is a great tool to preventing crime and corruption.

The pilot phase includes students from Year 5 to Year 13 and it is anticipated to be a fully-fledged program in all schools around the island state by 2019.
