Importance of Value Education in Higher Education
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
According to Gandhiji (1937), “Education is a means to draw out the best from the child and the man, physically, intellectually and spiritually”. But today in education primary importance is given to transmission of knowledge and cultivation of occupational skills rather than values. Current socio-economic forces of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization have created a global society where the ancient values have been thrown into the winds.This is leading towards “moral vacuum”.As there cannot be any universal pattern of value system for all societies, thereforea suitable blend of early and modern values maybe the solution. The most significant need of the hour is to transform the educational system with a view to cultivating the basic values of humanism, democracy, socialism and secularism. Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) could play a vital role in imparting those ‘Values’, which will help in the development of a nation.The teachers, the teacher educators, the educational workers, and the administrators should try their best to promote value-oriented education in the educational institutions.
