Abstract

This study examined Secondary School Students' Moral Cognition in light of the serious educational disparities seen in the Republic of South Africa after the apartheid. In Mpumalanga Province, JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) has been offering educational support for the improvement of scholastic aptitude in science and mathematics. However, there have not been many noticeable results. I developed a hypothesis by which education should focus on both scholastic aptitude improvement and moral education. High school students need moral education to help them lead good lives. To test the hypothesis, I conducted a questionnaire survey with high school students and teachers to determine their ideas about the way of living. I found that high school students are morally cognition and satisfied with the current situation. However, they appeared to have no idea about the future. I would like to recommend that moral education, along with scholastic aptitude improvement, be a part of education.
