Ethical education encourages students to distinguish between right and wrong, determine their values, and act in line with ethical principles. At the same time, it establishes the professional responsibilities of teachers, their duties to students and their responsibilities to society. This ensures that the teaching process takes place in an environment that is fair, respectful, honest and encourages personal growth. Ethical reasoning is the ability of individuals to make decisions and direct their behavior in line with moral values, and it plays a critical role in being successful in business and personal relationships. This study examines the importance and effects of ethical understandings in education. As a result, education systems should adopt more comprehensive and holistic approaches to support the moral development of students, thus positively influencing the overall moral structure of society and the quality of the education system.
