1. THE TRUTH

2. INDIAN VALUE SYSTEM
 Ancient Indian philosophers did not
neglect the social, the economic, and the
emotional aspects of life. A careful study
of ancient Indian history would reveal
that this country was materially
progressive and economically sound.
 Speaking of prosperity of India in ancient
times, Radhakrishnan says, ‘She knew
how to chisel stone, draw pictures,
burnish gold and weave rich fabrics.

5. REDEFINING EDUCATION
We are always receiving
and passing it on adding
something in the process,
sometimes even taking
certain things impertinent
from time to time, away
from it while passing it on
further.
Education is an ongoing
process.This is one of the
most important and integral
part of human’s life.
SIR C. V, RAMAN
NOBEL LAUREATE IN PHYSICS

6. However the industry of education is a serious one
requiring well defined ethics and values, well bound in
visible outlines to regulate its exchange and
distribution.
It is necessary to
understand that obeying
rules and laws of being a
student or teacher is very
necessary. Everyone
should perform his or her
role with full dedication
and moral values.

7.  Following are some of the most common moral , legal
and ethical issues in education that are most often
faced by the givers and receivers of education , along
with the education institutes , management thereof and
, sometimes , parents and guardians of students.
Educational resources with respect to special
education
Choice of teachers
School uniforms –should they be made compulsory

8. THE MAIN ISSUES
Discipline issues
Addressing diversity
Civic mission of schools
“For democracy to flourish, public
education must play a central role in
promoting responsible moral action that
serves the common good.”
–Charles Haynes, First Amendment Center
“To educate a person in mind and not in
morals is to educate a menace to society.”
–Theodore Roosevelt

9. The passing of the Education forAll Handicapped
Children Act in 1975 by the Federal Government
marked the first milestone in special education of
children with disabilities.
But prior to this act , handicapped children had no
other recourse but to attend general public schools
and curriculum which were not appropriate given
their special requirements.

11. The eternal contention between a principal and the
parents regarding which teacher the child in question
should be assigned to the following year is one of the major
moral issues in education.
 There are two , very predictable outcomes to this debate:
•Either the principal uneasily resigns to parental logic or
•The principal evade the parent’s request by making a
blanket statement saying it is not in school policy to honour
parent’ opinion as far as choice of teaching faculty goes.
CHOICE OF TEACHER

12. This one also has two sides to it – a “for” side and an
“against” side . Arguments in favourur of imposing
uniforms observe what the lack of a uniform dress code
has done to school to school campuses nationwide –
immodest piercings , provocative or too casual attire ,
outrageous hair colours and styles , etc.
 Advocates against imposing school uniform
argue that clothing has no effect , whatsoever , on
education and what one wears to school has no
bearing on what is taught at school.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS- SHOULD THEY BE
MADE COMPULSORY?

13. To put it in short , it is the old age policy vs. ‘give-them-
another chance’ policy. Both policies should work side –
by – side in all other educational or other institutes.
Also , state the latter , it is not necessary that all
students are able to afford a uniform- would they be
denied education for want of a uniform?
BUT THE REALITY……………….

14. The opportunities , however , should not be kept
unlimited for the same default by the same
individual. Giving second chances does not translate
into spare-the-rod-and-spoil-the-child attitude!
“Be your most creative when making ethical
judgments, not when rationalizing immoral behavior.”
–R. Adler 1998
CURRENT SCENARIO

15. With students from socially and ethnically
diverse backgrounds seeking admissions in
schools today , the issues of whether or not to
address diversity poses a serious question.
 Racial inequality and ethnic differences have
been an issue in public schools since the time
public schools were founded .The foremost
step towards addressing diversity in schools
should come from curriculum itself.
