Question- What is the role of education to overcome Negative Values?

Answer -

Values are bridge between individual and social. Individual holds value but others influence the formation of those values. In philosophical frameworks, values are those standards or code for conduct conditioned by one’s cultural doctrines and guided by conscience, according to which human being is supposed to conduct himself and shape his life patterns by integrating his beliefs, ideas and attitudes to realize cherished ideas and aims of life. Families, groups and societies tend to share common values.

Role of Educational Institutions in Inculcating Values

Aim of educational institutions is not only be to teach education alone but should also be to inculcate values and improving skills of children and teens.

Peers at school diffuse confidence about cheating, lying, stealing, and consideration for others. Though there are rules and regulations, the educational institutions pervade the value education to the children in an informal way. They play a key role in developing ethical behaviour in children.

General Steps are as under:

• Accountability: The children should be exhilarated to be accountable for their own actions and should learn to respect and treat others kindly.

• Role model: The teachers are the first role model to the children outside their family. When the children see the model showing concern for others, motivating them for their good deeds and cooperating and helpful with their academic issues, the children learn them by observing and imitate it with fellow peers.

• Appreciation: The teacher should appreciate the children for developing pro-social behaviour, especially for any specific action they have done to help others.
