Anti-corruption education is one of the important elements in building the character and integrity of the younger generation. Given the negative impact of corruption that damages the country's social, economic, and political order, this education is an effective preventive means to avoid corrupt practices in the future. This paper aims to explore the concept of anti-corruption education, its role in shaping a generation with integrity, as well as its challenges and implementation strategies. The concept of anti-corruption education involves teaching the values of ethics, honesty, and responsibility that must be instilled from an early age. This education must be applied consistently through formal and non-formal curricula, and involve various parties, including educators, the government, and the community. The challenges faced in the implementation of anti-corruption education include a lack of understanding and awareness of the importance of this education, as well as a culture of corruption that has been internalized in various sectors of life. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to adopt various implementation strategies, such as the use of technology and social media, as well as collaboration between educational institutions and civil society organizations. Through effective anti-corruption education, it is hoped that a young generation can be created who have integrity, are able to prevent corruption, and contribute to the development of a clean and transparent country.

This research aims to explore the use of information technology-based digital literacy in increasing awareness of data security and preventing cyber crime. The approach used is qualitative with descriptive analysis methods, which combine primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with information technology experts, digital literacy activists, the government, and the general public, coupled with observations of the implementation of digital literacy programs in several regions. Secondary data was obtained from official documents and reports related to digital literacy and cyber threats. The research results show that although understanding about the use of digital devices is quite widespread, awareness of the importance of protecting personal data is still low. Existing digital literacy programs tend to focus on basic skills in using technology, but do not include material on data security and cyber threats. The main obstacle in implementing digital literacy programs is limited resources and facilities in certain areas. In addition, even though educational efforts regarding cyber threats have been carried out, people still have difficulty understanding the right way to protect their data from cyber attacks. This research concludes that it is necessary to strengthen digital literacy programs that are more inclusive and in-depth, as well as increasing collaboration between the government, the private sector and educational institutions to increase public understanding regarding data security and preventing cyber crime.
