What is Values Education ?
Values Education is more than just imparting knowledge; it is about instilling a
set of core values and principles in students that guide their behavior, choices,
and actions throughout their lives.
These values include honesty, respect, empathy, responsibility, integrity, and
more. The primary goal of value-based education is to cultivate not just
knowledgeable individuals but also morally upright citizens who contribute
positively to society.
What is Values Education?
• The Definition of Values Education is “learning about self
and wisdom of life” in a self-exploratory, systematic and
scientific way through formal education. According to
C.V.Good’value education is the aggregate of all the
process by means of which a person develops abilities and
other forms of behavior of the positive values in the
society in which he lives.
• In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world,
high-quality education is becoming increasingly
important. Students need to be trained not just for
academic and professional success, but to be
equipped with essential life skills and values needed
to navigate through the various challenges they may
encounter in life. This is why human value
education has become an important aspect of
modern education.
This type of education should not be seen as a separate discipline but as something
that should be inherent in the education system. Merely solving problems must not
be the aim, the clear reason and motive behind must also be thought of.
Here is why there is an inherent need and
importance of value education in the present world:

making abilities.
• It teaches students with essential values like kindness, compassion and empathy.
• It awakens curiosity in children developing their values and interests. This further
helps in skill development in students.
• It also fosters a sense of brotherhood and patriotism thus helping students become
more open-minded and welcoming towards all cultures as well as religions.
It provides a positive direction to a student’s life as they are taught about the
right values and ethics.
It helps students find their true purpose towards serving society and doing
their best to become a better version of themselves.
• With age comes a wide range of responsibilities. This can at times develop
a sense of meaninglessness and can lead to a rise in mental health
disorders, mid-career crisis and growing discontent with one’s life. Value
education aims to somewhat fill the void in people’s lives.
Human value education consists of teaching students about the values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours
that are essential for leading a successful and fulfilling life. It aims not just to impart knowledge, but also
to develop students who are empathetic, kind, respectful, and responsible members of society.
Moreover, when people study the significance of values
in society and their lives, they are more convinced and
committed to their goals and passions. This leads to the
development of awareness which results in thoughtful
and fulfilling decisions.

significance of its value. It instils a sense of ‘meaning’ be
