National Education Minister Muhammad Nuh admits that students nowadays are not exposed enough to the teaching of moral virtues important to support students' character development.

He also said that a current lack of role models might partly contribute to this lack of development.

“We, both as educators and adults, do not adequately teach them on honesty, reliability and self-improvement,” Nuh said before thousands of participants of the National Education day commemoration at the ministry’s hall on Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Commenting on the decreasing quality of annual examination results, Nuh said right now the government was deliberating the best measures needed to cope with the problems encountered during the organization of the last national examination.
