In general, the function of this education is to shape the character of a student so that he becomes a person who is moral, noble, virtuous, resilient, and behaves well

If you ask me (since you replied to my post anyway), that's not gonna work out

And the problem is not with the "character education" itself (as you call it) as I'm totally fine with the idea as such (with less emphasis on "education", though). But this idea is a blatant utopia because who is to teach that "character" to a student? But what's even more important here, who is to determine what that character should look like ("moral, noble, virtuous, resilient, and behaves well")? And while we are at it, how come that I feel like we had already seen something like that before, and it failed miserably? I mean character shaping and designing "a better man" who "behaves well" from scratch? To my skin, it feels a bit Orwellian, doesn't it?
