The fight against corruption should begin in childhood, a seminar was told yesterday.

"We cannot instill a sense of responsibility in a person once they reach adulthood," National Anti-Corruption Commission member Vicha Mahakhun said.

"Look at Japan - they educate children in kindergarten that [the nation] belongs to them so they all need to work together to care for what is theirs. Therefore, they think of what benefits the community rather than themselves," Mr Vicha said.

Of course teaching responsibility should start at an early age. But who is qualified to teach them? Too many parents are clueless, just witness how they treat their very young children on motorbikes or how they treat animals. As for teachers and teacher aides many seem morally bankrupt if the claims of exam cheating are to be believed.
