一项涵盖92项随机对照试验、涉及12693名学生的大规模研究表明，正式的伦理教育能有效提升学生的道德推理能力。1这项跨越20个国家、近50年时间的分析发现，接受伦理教育的学生中五分之四在道德敏感性、道德判断和道德动机方面取得显著进步。1然而，尽管研究证实了伦理教育的价值，澳大利亚大多数州仍未将其纳入常规课程。
新南威尔士州通过Primary Ethics项目在约500所学校开设伦理讨论课程，目前覆盖约40000名学生。1该项目采用学生讨论的教学方式，研究表明以学生讨论为基础的项目效果最好，而仅依靠讲座和阅读的项目效果不佳。1除新南威尔士州外，其他州至今缺乏世俗化的伦理教学替代方案。1前大学校长兼商人David Gonski呼吁在所有澳大利亚学校推行伦理课程，认为这有助于促进社会凝聚力。1
A comprehensive analysis of 92 randomized controlled trials involving 12,693 students across 20 countries and spanning nearly 50 years demonstrates that formal ethics education substantially improves students' moral reasoning abilities.1 According to the research, approximately four out of five students who received structured ethics instruction showed significant positive outcomes in moral sensitivity, ethical judgment, and moral motivation, as evidenced by 54 controlled trials.1
Despite this compelling evidence of effectiveness, ethics education remains severely limited in Australian schools. New South Wales currently runs the Primary Ethics program, which operates in approximately 500 schools and reaches roughly 40,000 students on a weekly basis.1 However, most Australian states lack a secular ethics teaching alternative, leaving the majority of students without access to such programs.1 The research also found that discussion-based ethics initiatives prove most effective, whereas programs relying solely on lectures and reading materials show minimal impact.1
Former business executive and university chancellor David Gonski has called for ethics curriculum to be implemented across all Australian schools as a means to strengthen social cohesion.1
