Moral education is important in schools, but what is more crucial is for moral education to begin at home.

It is true that children spend most of their day in school, but in order for morality to be planted in the child's mind, it has to be implemented and maintained at home before anything else.

The basic principals of moral should begin in the home and be given by the parents of the child, and any further details or real-life examples should be given as a test to the students at school in order to observe how they would react to the hypothetical situations. 

All in all, this would generate a better generation for the future that is aware of how to behave and act appropriately around others.

With the decline in morality world wide I feel that this is one area that can help revive the morals of each country.  Many would disagree with me on this but I believe I have the statistics to back my statement up.

Sure . It more important than learning other subjects. 

New Gulf experience to put up material (moral education) within the general education curriculum in some countries such as the UAE, but it does not exist in my country Saudi Arabia, so I do not know about, and I do not have enough information about them .

Many well educated go astray for not giving enough importance to moral studies. Learn to live and help others to live.
