Value education teaches important qualities, characteristics, and ideas that guide decisions and behavior. It occurs through various processes where teachers and others transmit values to students. Some key universal values discussed include love, peace, loyalty, wisdom, integrity, and justice. Value education can take place in many settings like homes, schools, colleges, and youth organizations. Its objectives include improving human growth and creating sustainable attitudes. Approaches to value education can be explicit, through planned lessons, or implicit, through a school's overall culture. Businesses also demonstrate value education through philanthropic initiatives in areas like STEM education, community service, and environmental sustainability.

pedagogies, methods or programs that teachers or educators use in

Need for imparting proper values among the children
A child learns a lot from the people around him. If the social environment is
not good, then it becomes very difficult for him to display ethics and values
in his behavior.
We hear it all around, that children in India are going astray. Newspapers
report how a fifteen year old boy has been the leader of a gang of auto-
thieves. And all these auto-thieves belong to the so- called high families.
To get rich quick has been their ambition—not hard work, not sustained
pursuits of high order but just anything that can get them quick returns in
the form of good money—that has led them to these nefarious ways.
Ethics and values need to be imbibed among students.

willingness to become involved in complex thinking across
