16. Education -Purpose
Education : Process of inculcating values to equip
One to lead a life that is satisfying in accordance
with the cherished values and ideals of the
society.
Role of education : Character development’,
‘bringing out the latent potentialities and
inherent qualities’ and developing an ‘integrated
personality’ for the well being of the individual
and the society at large.
16
17. Concern for value education reflected in key policy documents from time to time.
• National Commission of Secondary Education (1952-53) emphasized that
character building is the defining goal of education. “The supreme end be training of
character & personality of students : to realize full potential and contribute to the
well-being of the community.”
• University Education Commission (1962): If spiritual training in our institutions is
excluded, we would be untrue to our whole historical development.” (not for
religious or moral education, but for evolving “a national faith, a national way of life
based on the Indian outlook on religion, free from dogmas, rituals and assertions.”
• Education Commission 1964-66 : “Education and national development”, from
which perspective it identified the “absence of provision for education in social,
moral and spiritual values” as a serious defect in the curriculum.
Defining Value System and Purpose of Education System 17
18. • National Policy on Education (1986) expressed concern over “the erosion of
essential values”. “Education should “foster universal and eternal values,
oriented towards the unity and integration of our people”.
• National Curriculum Framework for School Education (2000), echoing the
National Policy on Education (1986), lamented the “erosion of the essential,
social, moral and spiritual values. The framework advanced a plea to integrate
value education into the curriculum asserting that “Schools can and must strive
to resolve and sustain the universal and eternal values oriented towards the
unity and integration of the people enabling them to realize the treasure within.
• The National Curriculum Framework, 2005 echoed the vision of education
where values are inherent in every aspect of schooling. The framework
articulates the need to reaffirm our commitment to the concept of equality amidst
diversity, mutual interdependence of humans to promote values that foster
peace, humaneness and tolerance in a multi cultural society
Policy Making 17
19. What is True Value system:
Indian Constitution
• Encompasses values for living in harmony with oneself and one‟s natural
and social environment as well as the universal human values, inherent in
the human nature, which stood the test of time.
• Provides framework of values to be nurtured: Truthfulness, Sense of
responsibility, Trustworthiness, Loyalty, Love, Peace, Respect for others
etc. to be nurtured right from the beginning, to enable beings to abide by
the Constitution and contribute to larger health of society and nation at
large.
• Promoting values at school or societal level begins with individual and
individual in relation to community, larger society, nation and the world.
Indian Constituion 19
20. Indian Society : state of affairs
• Drastic change in the society in recent years - increase of crime rate in India.
• Increased crime rates play a decisive role in hindering the growth of a nation as a unit,
especially in the case of developing countries like India.
• Change in the value system, education system which resulted in the crime rate.
• Juvenile crimes : lack in teaching children on moral values.
• Education and tradition : most important aspect to resist the society from this onslaught.
• People who makes crimes are not educated they are just graduated. There is a difference
between education and graduation.
• Media's influence : watch crime and violence scenes on screen and even learn how t o
implement it.
• Media also portray women so obscene which is one of the reason for the increase of crime
against women.
• It is high time we strengthen process of teaching moral values – starting from schools and
home.
20
23. everyone talks about values and value education system……
Still there is deterioration……
What is pragmatic approach to effectively instill these values …..
24. What is True Value system:
Importance of developing values : Rooted in age old traditions of
India’s civilizational and cultural heritage, spanning over the centuries.
Life of individuals (Saints, sages and philosophers) : examples of values
Self-discipline as per laws of nature – core humane values
Devotion in service to humanity and cause of mankind
Survival in the absence of material resources,
Simplicity, handling conflicts without violence,
Superior conduct and living
Defining Value System 23
25. Where do these Value Germinate in human beings:
Schools are the microcosm of the world. The disorder of the world surfaces
in schools in many ways. So the question of what values, must be rooted in the
context of schools in which they are placed and in the light of problems and
issues being faced by them.
School leadership has impact on the effectiveness of fostering values. :
people who are willing to „show the way‟, who can take the responsibility to
create an environment and allow others to feel empowered.
Leadership : facilitation, creating environment and relationships
Only Enlightened Being can “teach” values, not ordinary mortals
- value educators should imbibe what they teach!!
Change through Leadership 24
26. Student involvement:
Intervention Programs & Projects for students during school life be planned not isolated but
complementary to value education efforts
• Related to sustainable development and Community Service Projects
• Caring for the aged,
• Communication related to peace and harmony and Universal brotherhood ,
• Issues of violence,
• Conflict resolution, Anger management,
• Media literacy,
• Career awareness,
• Vocational education etc.
Driving the change 25
27. What are those Core Values – reflection of complete & ideal personality of a Being
The dictionary presents us with various meanings like humaneness, benevolence, compassion, brotherly love, fraternity, fellow
feeling, philanthropy, humaneness, kindness, consideration, understanding, sympathy, tolerance etc.
In simple words we can all agree that “ Humanity is the group of basic values which prove that we are the superior most
creation of the Almighty”. Hence if we loose these values we loose humanity.
7 core values:
• Contentment,
• Endurance,
• Truthfulness,
• Righteousness,
• Equanimity,
• Selflessness
• benevolence.
Core Human / Universal Values 01
Virtuous Living is the path divine to achieve all goals of life
28. Bringing Peace on Earth :
World's First School of Equanimity and Even-Sightedness
.
School of Equanimity & Even-sightedness:
29. “ How can school leaders ensure high
“Moral Sense” is imbibed in their students? “
30. Let’s begin with a simple question…
• If we all are humans then what is the meaning
of the simple term i.e. Humanity ?
• We will like to hear as many views as possible
today from this group because that might help
all of us to arrive at a common and acceptable
meaning of this term.
31. A small observation….
• When you drive you car on road, you must have seen small weeds growing next to
the road, they don’t need any help from anyone, no one plants them intentionally
but they still grow. One important point to note that they are of no use to
environment or animals too. They grown on their own like this probably because
the environment is conducive for their growth. But in case we need to grow “Tulsi”
then we need to take great care, even when it’s grown at home, we take care of
the sunlight, water and other needs.
• Similar is the case with today’s generation, if we don’t take care of them, they will
still grow but with bigger possibility of growing like a weed i.e. non contributors to
the society development and upliftment. And in case we provide them the right
environment they may acquire the human values and become like “Tulsi” and it
may lead to societal transformation from Kalyug to Satyug i.e. the Golden Age.
32. I.Q Vs E.Q
• I.Q can get us hired for a job….E.Q can get us fired…
• Hence there has to be a balance in such a way that we
excel in job, that can only come when we agree on S.Q
i.e. Spiritual Quotient because S.Q has to be the base
of our education which helps a student develop I.Q and
E.Q.
• Question : what changes are need in today’s education
system for this change…..
33. Universal Values as per Shastras and Indian Cultural Heritage
• 4 Ashrams of Man’s life:
– Brahmcharya
– Grehasth Ashram
– Vanprasth
– Sanyas
34. Values at Formative Stage in Schools:
• Brahmcharya : Objective of development in this phase:
– Dharmik Shishya Vriti
– Vedadhyan (Aatmik Gyan)
– Satvik Aahar
– Atam Sanyam
