"The Education Ministry will introduce values to the national curriculum, as parents fail to teach them at home. The introduction comes as teachers struggle with increasing numbers of badly behaved kids.
As part of a ministry curriculum review, a comprehensive list of values to be taught in schools has been put together. It is bringing the 10-year-old curriculum into line with what is already being taught � including honesty, respect and responsibility � in many schools. "
