Introduction
The four main strategic focus areas of TISL projected for the next five years are Representation, Education, Advocacy and Monitoring (REAM). Through these strategic focus areas the TISL aims to combat corruption from a preventive as well as from a curative perspective. While programme areas on representation and monitoring are geared towards dealing with corruption from a curative angle, education and advocacy programmes are directed towards addressing corruption at diverse levels and situations from a preventive perspective.
Promoting anti-corruption education in schools is one of the most important programmes that is greatly influenced by the preventive approach. TISL strongly believes that empowering youth through anti-corruption information would help create an incorrupt youth population which is a pre-requisite for the building up of a corruption free society and a necessary force to fight corruption. Creating ‘Integrity Laboratories’ in schools is the main medium through which TISL envisages to promote integrity and good governance principles among the youth. These laboratories will provide an opportunity for the students to practise the good governance principles they had learned, in their immediate school environment. Furthermore, this exposure and experience would encourage children to bring closer to their lives the kind of values that would promote their integrity as ‘future adults.
