Abstract
The success of a country can be seen in cooperative relationships with citizens in achieving a common goal. A state must be present as social control for citizens in solving various existing problems. Corruption is one of the biggest problems that must be fought in a country. This can occur due to several factors such as low awareness or knowledge, weak guiding laws, insistence on economic needs, abuse of position or power, and even a culture where corruption is common. Therefore, this study will examine the role of Citizenship Education in empowering citizens to fight corruption in Indonesia. Citizenship Education does not only talk about theory, but rather its implementation to make good citizens synergize in achieving state goals. Empowerment of citizens in corruption Citizenship Education provides the basis for forming wise and courageous citizens to act in eradicating the corruption of the values of Pancasila.
