500 people elementary class students with the participation of longitudinal research this showed
that it was made spiritual to education exposed was children moral thinking 28 percent in skills
improved, moral verdict test (MJT). From this besides, the participants one part of functional
MRI (fMRI) scans moral decisions acceptance to do with related in the prefrontal cortex, which
15-20% increase in activity ( Immordino - Yang et al., 2022). This findings Kohlberg's moral
development to the theory suitable it comes, this and structured moral directions given children
high level moral to think faster their transitions shows (Lapsley and Carlo, 2021).
From this except for ANOVA tests used without statistic analysis spiritual education received
students and supervision in the group between Moral dilemma solution to do abilities according
to noticeable the difference confirmed (p <0.05). Values and ethics about structured in

decreased by 33%. 20% more in class participation to do, this trust and social activity from the
increase evidence gives.
Global education with models (UNESCO, 2023 ) comparative analysis this showed that values-
based education done increasing countries ( e.g. Finland, Japan ) in schools violence level is 50%
lower and students prosperity index 30% higher, spiritual and moral of education importance
strengthens.

Structural spiritual education received students to their peers 27% less than offense happened
More than 80% of parents own of their children moral decisions acceptance to do and emotional
stability at the level improvements about message They gave it to me. For the price. based
elementary of programs graduates adolescence during the period citizenship 20% higher activity
level they showed that volunteer work and society service in their initiatives participation to
grow with is measured.
From this except, prophetic modeling this shows that if the spiritual education universally
done if increased, early moral education and further behavior results between strong dependency
into account received without, next ten year inside youth with related crimes level reduced by
15-20% possible (OECD, 2024).

Discussion.
This research results elementary in education spiritual of culture important role
strengthens, its cognitive development, emotional intelligence and morality to think deep the
impact shows. Findings installed psychological theories, including Kohlberg's moral
development stages (1973) and Vygotsky's socio-cultural education with theory (1978) suitable it
comes, this both are made up moral to education early impact to do children's high-level thinking
and social cooperation to do ability increase shows. Social behavioral, emotional order moral and
ethical decisions acceptance in doing observed improvements into account received without
this of findings education in politics, social in behavior and far term development in the results
wider consequences discussion to do necessary.

empathize for responsible prefrontal cortex, which is cingulate cortex and amygdala such as
main brain territories activate ( Immordino -Yang et al., 2022). These findings spiritual and
moral upbringing national training to programs systematic accordingly input need said the idea
confirms. Do this. increased countries ( e.g. Finland, values ) based education mandatory was ) -
moral education programs are minimal countries with compared to students’ satisfaction and
activity indicators are 30-40% higher that about message ( UNESCO, 2023).
From this, 50 global education meta- analysis of the system spiritual and moral to education
priority importance giving countries the school abandonment of reaching an average reduction of
25% and a long term academic 20% increase in winnings to see ( OECD, 2024). This is shows
that moral upbringing training the results does not reduce, but him/her discipline, responsibility
and internal motivation develop through increases. Predictable modeling this shows that if the
value-based education universally
done moral
activism and academics determination
between observed correlation into account received without, next ten year global literacy within
level increase by 10% possible.
2. Emotional and social development : behavior problems reduce
This of the research the most amazing from the findings one spiritual upbringing in the group
students between aggressive 33% reduction in behavioral and emotional order 40% increase in
production This is
statistic information moral education not only cognitive skills increase,
maybe behavior the results improve, early childhood in development emotional of intellect
importance strengthen clear shows.
Global behavior research with comparative analysis this conclusion further supports. Example
for, Japan moral education curriculum ( Dōtoku ) is compiled moral instructions there is not been
to countries relatively at school violence less than 50% of cases with (OECD, 2023). Just as so,
empathy to teach early to education integrated In Denmark, students also have 25% higher
cooperation skills and less social deviation level demonstration ( World
Economic Forum,
2023). This is what shows that spiritual to education investment entered countries wider social to
benefits has to be possible, including crime level decline and citizenship responsibility.
Longitudinal research this shows that spiritual education through developable emotional intellect
childhood from the era wide outside too comprehensive to the effect has. Harvard by University
(2022) 30 years of experience to research according to, early emotional order to plant level high
was individuals stable work place save stay 32% more likely and puberty at the age of anxiety
with related diseases development 45% less likely. This findings moral and spiritual education
elementary to education input far term social advantages emphasizes.
3. Long term prophetic models : spiritual of upbringing future impact
Global education trends and current information prophetic to modeling based on, composed of
spiritual of education wide on a scale current completion by 2040 one how many important
social to shifts take arrival possible :

installed psychological theories, including Kohlberg's moral development stages and Vygotsky's
socio-cultural education theory with suitable it comes, this both are early childhood in education
moral guidance the necessity emphasizes. Research focuses on individual development outside,
