Question- How will you describe the importance of Value Education?

Or
Give the importance of Value Education.

Answer -

In today’s time, when there is a huge crisis of moral values in society, value-based education proves out to be the solution. Through value-based education, we can develop the children into people with strong character and values who know how to utilize their knowledge for the advantage of mankind.

Nelson Mandela rightly said: “Education is the most powerful weapon through which you can change the world”. Here, he talked about both academic education as well as moral value education. And, value education has the power to change the world.

Education is a lifelong process of development of one’s personality which starts from the school. It is a school that builds the base for everything. That is why school plays a significant role in providing value-based education or moral education.

Everyone knows that life is precious that life is important. We all protect our life because we care for it more than anything else. If life is so important, the values of life are even more important. Values are guiding principles, or standards of behaviour which are regarded desirable, important and held in high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives. The Importance of Values and Morals are the code we live by in a civil and just society. They are what we use to guide our interactions with others, with our friends and family, in our businesses and professional behaviour. Our values and morals are a reflection of our spirituality; our character. They are what we hope to model for our children and the children around us, because children do watch us as they develop their own sense of right and wrong. Value education means inculcating in the children sense humanism, a deep concern for the well-being of others and the nation. This can be accomplished only when we instill in the children a deep feeling of commitment to values that would build this country and bring back to the people pride in work that brings order, security and assured progress. A person with proper values will not be afraid to face problems. He or she will expect and accept them as part of life. He or she will not give unnecessary importance to anything that happens in life. He or she will have complete faith in God. Such a person will be an example to the rest. In today’s scenario our values have been discarded by the new generation in the upcoming of the new fashion. In such a situation it is very important for someone to lay down basic principles for us so that we may lead a brightened life, no matter the stepping stones of success hit us hard we on the basis of these principles can guide our life. Thus, value education completes this need very easily with an impact on the young minds making the world a better place to live in.

According to Father of Indian Nation M.K. Gandhi :

“If wealth is lost nothing is lost
If health is lost something is lost
If character is lost everything is lost”

Best of all things is character.
