Ethics are important in every profession, for much the same reason that laws are important to society at large: they outline agreed standards of conduct for a large group of people. Standards of conduct are needed in both cases because all individual’s morals are different. My idea of right and wrong can differ significantly from yours, and humans are really good at justifying things they shouldn’t do. So, if we are to get along in society without too much friction, we have laws to outline what we can and can’t do, and if we are to perform a role like teaching, we have professional ethics to outline what we can and can’t do. 

It provides a framework for defining what is considered acceptable and appropriate behavior in the educational setting. 

By upholding high ethical standards, educators can build their credibility, enhance their reputation, and contribute to a positive school culture. 

ethics in education serves as a guiding framework that promotes professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct among educators, ultimately benefiting students, schools, and the broader community.
