6. Social value is a way of thinking about how scarce resources are allocated and used. It involves looking beyond
the price of each individual contract and looking at what the collective benefit to a community is when a public
body chooses to award a contract.
“Social Value is about maximizing the impact of public expenditure. It looks at what is created, and sometimes what
is forsaken, through a commissioning process. It is therefore also about what we value in the public realm. Social
value considers more than just the financial transaction.”

12 Indirect approach
In this method, there is no particular syllabus, examination, method and separate guidelines for human rights
education. Here the teacher, teaches the regular lesson, while teaching he adopts temporarily the teaching of human
rights and duties of a citizen. While teaching the general subject the teacher discusses the related concepts by giving
examples, correlation, comparison etc. Here the teacher teaches the regular subjects and correlates with human
rights, duties of a citizen, democracy, secularism, socialism etc

Culture is the sum of learned beliefs, values, and customs that regulate the behavior of members of a particular
society. Beliefs and values are guides of behavior and customs are acceptable ways of behaving. A belief is an
opinion that reflects a person's particular knowledge and assessment of an issue
The beliefs, values, behavior and material objects that constitute a people's way of life; the sum of learned beliefs,
values, and customs that regulate the behavior of members of a particular society.
Material culture - People with similar income may create a subculture. The poor, the affluent, and the white-collar
middle class are examples of material subcultures.
Social institutions - Those who participate in a social institution may form a subculture. Examples include
participation in marriage, parenthood, a retirement community, or the army.
Belief systems - People with shared beliefs may create a subculture, such as a religious group or political party. For
example, traditional Amish do not use electricity and automobiles.
Aesthetics - Artistic people often form a subculture of their own associated with their common interests, such as art,
music, dance, drama, and folklore.
Language - People with similar dialects, accents, and vocabulary can form a subculture. Southerners and northerners
are two traditional categories in the US.
15 Incidental approach
For example, acts of courage, bravery, discipline, etc. can be highlighted on various occasions in the school such as
morning assembly or sports day. Games, sports, scouting, NCC, NSS, and mock parliament are good places for
practice of values. The progressive effect of these kinds of experiences leads to internalization of values among
students
By celebrating the birth centenaries of great personalities like M.K. Gandhi, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, S. Radhakrishnan.
It is possible to develop the subject related concepts. Here some incidents taken into consideration, based on these
incidents, the teacher finds the concepts related background and correlates these celebrations with basic concepts
like Fraternity, Adult Franchise, Voting Power, Freedom of Talk etc.
