The purpose of education, as stated in the National Education Law No. 20 of 2022, Chapter II, Article 3, is to enhance the capabilities and mold the character and civilization of a respectable nation, with the aim of enlightening the nation's existence. It is clear from this objective that the goals of Indonesian education prioritize the cultivation of attitudes, character, and the integration of the nation's philosophical beliefs into the education process. This suggests that ethics plays a crucial role in attaining these educational objectives. Regrettably, when analyzing the current state of human existence, the significance of ethics is frequently disregarded and fails to receive adequate consideration. This can be observed in the conduct of numerous well-educated individuals who fail to demonstrate ethical behavior. Education and a focus on ethical instruction cultivate persons' awareness of the moral principles that form the foundation of their life. Hence, it is imperative for all educational contexts to prioritize the importance of ethics in all educational settings and learning processes. The objective of this study is to examine and comprehend the ethical considerations surrounding education and learning. This paper employs a literature review methodology. The employed technique is content analysis. The study's findings indicate that educational ethics serve as the foundation for actions and decisions aimed at establishing a nurturing learning environment that fosters the moral and intellectual growth of students. Furthermore, ethics serve as the fundamental basis for establishing a conducive learning environment that fosters the moral and cognitive growth of pupils. Furthermore, ethics serve as the fundamental basis for establishing a conducive learning environment, where the principles of honesty and justice are deeply valued in the interactions among all individuals engaged in the educational process. The education and learning process should be conducted with sound and appropriate ethics, as education encompasses not only the imparting of positive values through learning, but also the ethical conduct of both educators and learners.
