India's President Droupadi Murmu, recently addressed students and teachers and talked about the need for value education to be included in the school curriculums. She stated that there is currently a very large focus on rote learning the knowledge that is present in the textbooks. According to her, this value education has twofold benefits:
(i) It helps make children good citizens by teaching them values.
(ii) It also aids in the development and overall progress of society.
Such benefits of value education have already been seen with the Happiness Curriculum that was started in Government Schools in Delhi by the Delhi Government in 2018. This curriculum focuses on value education, meditation, etc.
During this session, President Murmu also talked about how children should also develop many other important values such as reading. She specifically highlighted how reading is one of the most important skills in life while also being one of the best methods of self-development.
I believe that this is a great initiative. This is because even though it is important for one to have knowledge it is also important for them to have good value systems. It is essential that these good value systems are engrained in our society, and making them a part of school curriculums is one of the most efficient ways of doing this.
