The present paper responds to the current ethical challenges facing education. The authors consider the issues, methods and challenges associated with the innovation of current ethics education. It is expected to effectively contribute to raising young people's moral awareness and ethical literacy including also economic literacy and its ethical aspects. The authors emphasize the importance and humanistic mission of ethics education which requires philosophical anchoring. This is based on the development of reflective thinking, which both strengthens students' intellectual, psychological and moral growth and helps develop their own desire to learn and to gain knowledge. The cultivation of young people's behavior presupposes a type of ethics education and training that will significantly develop the skill to judge and act morally in their professional setting. It includes updating the methods of teaching ethics, the aim of which is to enhance young people's personal development and value orientation and, at the same time, it is also a challenge for teachers and teacher training institutions.

Keywords: Ethics, economy, education, methodology, reflective thinking
