Character education is expressed as the process of deliberately teaching the virtues to the individuals. Virtues, unlike values, are character traits that do not differentiate according to time and place and are valuable for the entire society. Although instilling the virtues to the individuals is not an easy and short-term process, virtues can be taught and learned with a sufficient education process. Although there are various interpretations of what the universal virtues are, according to Thomas Lickona's widely accepted argument, there are ten fundamental virtues: wisdom, justice, fortitude, self-control, love, positive attitude, hard work, integrity, gratitude and humility. It would be unrealistic to expect character education to have a positive effect on students in a short time. Indeed, the character emerges with the coming together of many different stakeholders such as family, culture and social life. In this context, it is of great importance to include all of the stakeholders in character education processes.
