Question

speech on value of moral education

Answer 1

One purpose of moral education is to help make children virtuous—honest, responsible, and compassionate. Another is to make mature students informed and reflective about important and controversial moral issues. Both purposes are embedded in a yet larger project—making sense of life.


The second task of moral education is to provide students with the intellectual resources that enable them to make informed and responsible judgments about difficult matters of moral importance. Both are proper and important tasks of schools—and both cut across the curriculum.


The Moral Education Program (MEP) covers four pillars of teaching and learning: character and morality; the individual and the community; civic studies; and cultural studies.
