The development of technology has driven progress in various aspects of human life, especially in the field of education. However, this progress is not always accompanied by significant developments in morality. Various student behaviours related to the use of digital technology indicate the degradation of character and morals.

This makes the importance of building character and moral education based on the truth of God as a source of true moral character.
