Abstract:The author argues that 'curriculum' must go beyond mere content in its quest to generate intellectual knowledge. It must also include the teaching of moral values and the cultivation of virtue. A 'moral education curriculum' can be considered to be a programme of social values, norms and attitudes taught in life by social institutions such as schools. Using the views of R.S. Peters (1959, 1981), Terrence McLaughlin (1999), R.F. Dearden (1968) and Lawrence Kohlberg (1981), the author discusses the nature and scope of a moral education curriculum and its benefits for contemporary Zimbabwe and Africa in general.
