The Necessity of Value Oriented Education at Our School Education Curriculum
This paper presents the decline of values education in schools since the Middle Ages. It lays down the basic structure of ancient education which contributes quality manpower to the society imbibing moral, social and civic values. It also shows the erosion of values and how values are transferred from ancient foundations to modern times. As a result, the current situation calls for several reforms that can be implemented from ancient education for the overall development of students as human beings. Quality of education generally affects quality manpower for social benefits. Values are principles or standards of behavior, judgments of what is important in life. In ethics, value refers to the degree of importance of something or an action, determining what actions are best to do or how to live, or to describe the significance of various actions. A person's or a group's values are the moral principles and beliefs they hold to be important.
