Importance of Value-based Education

BJS is concentrating much on providing value based education to students and guide teachers to provide value education. The moral values present a true perspective of the development of any society or nation. They tell us to what extent a society or nation has developed itself. Values are virtues, ideals and qualities on which actions and beliefs are based. Values are guiding principles that shape our world outlook, attitudes and conduct. Values however are either innate or acquired. Innate values are our inborn divine virtues such as love, peace, happiness, mercy and compassion as well as the positive moral qualities such as respect, humility, tolerance, responsibility, cooperation, honesty and simplicity.

The main causes of moral degeneration are:

- Lack of respect for the sanctity of human life.

- Breakdown of parental control of children in families

- Lack of respect for authority

-Total disregard for rules and regulations

- Crime and corruption

- Abuse of alcohol and drugs

- Abuse of women and children, and other vulnerable members of society.

- Lack of respect for other people and property

- Inadequate living and social conditions like lack of proper education

To solve all these type problems, it is necessary to know the main causes of the above problems. We know today’s children are tomorrow's citizens. If we give good education to the present day children, the future of the next generations will be good. For BJS, education is the solution for all types of these problems. Now we are living in the modern century. If we use science and technology in the proper way, it is not difficult for us to solve all the problems of the non-moral and value things. The main object of the study is to inculcate moral and value based education in schools and colleges and to know the attitude of intermediate students towards moral values.
