integrity might result in fraud-related activities, such
as corruption which highly roams our nation. An
effort to eradicate corruption does not only sentence
the convict but also means of prevention through
system improvement along with character building
and anti-corruption culture from elementary,
secondary until college education.
From studies conducted by KPK (Indonesia Anti-
Corruption Official Committee) 9 (nine) integrity
values are found in creating an anti-corruption
character:
1. Honesty; truthful, no fabrication or fraudulent
to the truth
2. Compassion; appreciative, attentive, and
observant
3. Independence; does not depend on others to
finish their tasks
4. Discipline; abide by the rules and regulations
5. Responsible; trustworthy, bear any
consequences of their actions
6. Hard work; diligent, determined, endurance,
goal setup, principle, self-regulation, bravery,
hardiness, perseverance and never giving up
7. Humble; not wasteful, fulfilled needs with

Corruption is listed as extraordinary crimes
because it affects several aspects of life. Capturing
and sentencing the perpetrator proved inadequate to
eradicate massive and systemic corruption. Surely to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness to eradicate
corruption, all stakeholders in the nation must be
deployed. Therefore, the learning process to enforce
anti-corruption values in every educational stage
needed all public elements to be involved to
understand, be aware, and be sure of anti-corruption
studies along with implementation in the classroom,
school, and the neighborhood.
Youth or teenagers are the future generations that
hold important roles in society. Teenagers are
expected to be the leading agent of anti-corruption to
build a prosperous society free of corruption.
Nevertheless, we can see many problems currently
affecting the state of Indonesia are in the field of
education, the problem is mainly due to the lack of
character owned by students. Entering the digital era,
youths are focusing most of their time to interact with
technology. It becomes worse in Covid-19 pandemic
when direct interaction decreases, which is important
to build character. Therefore, this will be quite the
challenge for parents and school to develop character
values for teenagers who are in the stage of
identifying themselves that will be adopted to the next
development stage. Hence, there must be an attempt
to restore the school as the locomotive to reinforce the
anti-corruption culture in the long run.
Secondary educational stages such as High
school, where the students are in their developmental
stage, need a particular approach through their peers
to internalize those integrity values. OSIS (Student
body) is one of the organizations that can be used to
transmit those integrity values to their peers. And for
that matter, conducting an anti-corruption guidance
program to develop the student body members'
integrity is one way to prevent corruption.
Corruption eradication must be done in many
ways and approaches. In that case, the role of a
university is essential with involving scholars and
the academic community, such as school,
universities might play an important role in
preparing the youths to hold integrity and anti-
corruption values throughout their lives.
And for that matter, this research tries to
implement anti-corruption guidance sessions
through guidance, FGD, case study, and presentation
through movies and posters, along with an action
plan to develop integrity values to students, so that
they will become an anti-corruption individual. This
research is conducted in a public senior high school
in Garut - Indonesia, which is one of the pilot
schools in the Giriawas area. This school needs to
prove itself to be a pilot school, one is related to the
anti-corruption program. Through initial interviews
with randomized students, there are traces of fraud
in students such as cheating in a test, document
forgery, et cetera. Through these guidance sessions.
Researchers would like to examine the effectiveness
of anti-corruption guidance given by schools as an
attempt to develop students’ integrity values.
Based on the background, this research was
conducted with the aim of instilling and building
character values with integrity through the guidance
program. The research question: Is an anti-
corruption guidance program through lecturing,
FGD, case studies, presentation about movies,
posters, and action plan could be effective to develop
student’s integrity values?
Through this research, it is hoped to be an attempt
to uphold the anti-corruption culture and as an
alternative that can be developed in high school or
equivalent educational stages to spread integrity
values on the future generations.
