What is Value Based Education?

Value based education is a three fold development of any

individual of any gender and age, but most importantly of a

child. Education tries to develop three aspects: physique,

mentality and character.

Even though physique and mentality are important, they are

menaces without the third because character is the greatest

of these. Education plays a huge role in precisely this area.

Value based education is a tool which not onlyprovides us a profession which we can pursue butalso a purpose in life. The purpose of our life is

undoubtedly to know oneself and be ourselves. Wecannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselveswith all that lives.

These values include the simple difference between

right and wrong, a belief in God, the importance ofhard work and self respect.

Humility, the spirit of selfless service to society,friendliness, discipline, adherence to truth,

nonviolence and faith in God.

Missing in Higher Education:

Why Value Education is Important?

Our education system at best produces young people

who are ignorant of their own tradition.

The boys and girls who have these qualities alone will bethe nation's treasure of virtue and ensure its future.

Without these sacred qualities, all education is valueless.

Does literacy or degree constitute education? Without

wisdom and virtue can one be termed an educatedperson? True education is that which fosters the sense

of oneness, draws out one's divine qualities and

promotes the blossoming of human personality.

The four hallmarks of a true student

Man should stand out as a seeker of truth. The student shouldpractise the truths he has learnt and use them for the good ofthe society.

Students should aspire to promote the nation's well-being, itssecurity and happiness. Selflessness, absence of egoism,

unostentatiousness and true love should be the hallmarks of atrue student.

A student's life should radiate light all around. Vidya meanslight. It is to make this illumination available to the world thatstudents should pursue education.

Students should desire to enjoy the bliss derived from Vidya(education) and not the pleasures ofVishaya (worldlyobjects). Students should aim at being masters of theirsenses and not their servants.

Quality and not quantity should be increased

Students today lack the capacity to discriminate betweenright and wrong.

The authorities feel that education is progressing in thecountry. There are more educational institutions and

more students seem to be receiving education.

But no one seems to bother whether they are reallygetting educated at all.

Mere increase in the number of educational institutions isnot enough. We must look at the quality of education.Standards have to be raised. There are many reasonsfor deterioration in educational standards.

but what you can give to the country
