This paper shows that there is not ethically neutral education. In the process of forming an individual it becomes impossible to separate the issue of education from a set of ethical attributes. This paper examines the issue of (co) relation between ethics and education, in order to discuss the nature and function of the educational act, considering the implications and results in the formation of the individual. It argues that it is up to the educator to develop critical-reflexive dimension, exploring themes of motivation and proximity to the real conditions of existential and experiential learners, prompt the mentality of the research and the pursuit of knowledge autonomously, demonstrate the causes and reasons of oppression, motivate dialogue and hear what the students have to say and take their ethical responsibility to citizenship clarified.
