Hello friends and teachers I am here to give away my speech on the topic importance of value education in school. Hope you listen me carefully.
More than fifty countries have recognised the importance of value education in the school curriculum, and even those that have not, undoubtedly recognise the fundamental fact that children need to grow up with a sound system of values if they are to mature into good human beings and responsible citizens.
So far so good; but the catch lies in the poser, ‘Who is going to decide on the system of values to be imparted, and what, indeed, will be the values?’
As things stand in our country, a general directive has been issued to educational institutions that value education should form a part of their curriculum, but the details have been left for the schools to work out themselves.
One cannot blame them either: firstly, in the absence of a definite syllabus and trained teachers on the subject, the classes meander and finally lose their way. Secondly, it is a subject in which there is no provision for assessment, with the result that it ends up being largely ignored—as much by children as by their parents.
So where do we begin? That is a difficult question, but before we even try to answer it, an important point needs to be borne in mind. In a democracy, different sets of values coexist. What is right for one particular group may be wrong for another.
As knowledge expands and education spreads, a whole lot of people get cleverer, but they do not become happier, and the world they help to build does not become any better. Why? Because cleverness is hollow when it does not have good values to back it. It is like a dry well.
Thus I conclude by saying that it is important for us to have a value education in school because it is the one which will stay with us for a long time.
