Investigating the role of civic education in reducing corruption at the grassroots level
(ASET Journal of Management Science, 2025) Jesu Arockia, Venice
This study investigates the role of civic education in mitigating corruption at the grassroots level. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and focus groups involving community members, educators, and local leaders. The findings reveal that effective civic education increases awareness of corruption’s negative impacts, strengthens ethical values, and empowers citizens to demand accountability. However, challenges such as limited resources, inadequate curriculum integration, and societal norms impede its full potential. The study recommends enhancing civic education programs, integrating anti-corruption content into school curricula, and fostering community engagement initiatives. These measures are critical for nurturing a culture of transparency and integrity essential to combating corruption at the grassroots.
