Question

Write essay on topic:- 'Importance of value education'​

Answer 1

Answer:

Values education is teaching and learning about the ideals that a society thinks is important. The aim is for students not only to understand the values, but also to reflect them in their attitudes and behaviour, and contribute to society through good citizenship and ethics. Moral education, character education, ethics and philosophy have attempted to do similar things.

In spite of the increasing literacy rate and more people receiving education, the crime rate is not coming down but increasing. The rise in crimes, violence and other destructive activities in the society can be credited 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 but still were ready to die. What they lacked was edification. Had they been thoroughly taught the values of human character, it is possible they would have shivered to think of killing so many innocent people and also themselves. 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 decline. The world needs people with high values to make it a better place to live in
