Life without values education is like ship without rudder. Values work as guidance system and help us reach our destination. Education without values or edification will fall short of achieving its goal. Mere teaching, learning, improving knowledge and skills without building character and mind may not contribute to the holistic development of children, which is a must for the world to become a better place.
In spite of the increasing literacy rate and more people receiving education, the crime rate is refusing to come down! The rise in crimes, violence and other destructive activities in the society can be ascribed to poor inculcation of values. It has been seen in the recent terrorist attacks in various parts of the world, that those who carried out the attacks were educated men and women. What they lacked was edification. Had they been thoroughly taught the values of human character, it is possible they would have shuddered to think of killing so many innocent people. Education policy makers need to lay more stress on education with much stress on imparting human values and edification. This will have better results than mere education.
The need of the hour is to impart value based education. The stress should be on the values such as patience, honesty, tolerance, sympathy, and love for fellow brethren and sisters. The students must be indoctrinated to keep values as top priority. The youngsters need not only to be taught how to develop their skills, talents, and abilities, they must also be taught how to use these skills, talents and abilities for the welfare and betterment of all. Once values become everyone's priority in life, all the negative aspects of life will automatically dwindle. The world direly needs people with high values to make it a better place to live in.

The aim is for students not only to understand the values, but also to reflect them in their attitudes and behavior, and contribute to society through good citizenship and ethics. Moral education, character education, ethics and philosophy have attempted to do similar things. Character education, for example, described six character education programs in USA schools that aimed to teach important values, such as friendship, fairness and social justice, and influence student attitudes and behavior.
With what is going on in the US right now - this sounds like a novel idea. The rage and insensitivity and racism - values seemed to have gone out the window.
The rage of the Trumpies will intensify in direct proportion to Trump’s downfall, which will surely be attributed within Trumpism’s ecosystem to a Mueller– deep-state conspiracy. That rage will be further inflamed by the economic insecurity that will continue to afflict most Americans as long as the inequality compounded for decades in the age of globalization remains unaddressed. As Critics Assail Trump, His Supporters Dig In Deeper?
There is every reason to fear that our unending political civil war will not be resolved by any election anytime soon in the destabilized America that Trump will leave behind.
But in addition to values - we need to teach discourse - the basics - communication -
