There are two main approaches to Value Education.

Explicit Values education is associated with those different pedagogies, methods or programs that teachers or educators use in order to create learning experiences for students when it comes to value questions.

Implicit Values education on the other hand covers those aspects of the educational experience resulting in value influence over learning, which can be related to the concept of hidden curriculum.

Need for imparting proper values among the children

A child learns a lot from the people around him. If the social environment is not good, then it becomes very difficult for him to display ethics and values in his behavior. We hear it all around, that children in India are going astray. Newspapers report how a fifteen year old boy has been the leader of a gang of auto-thieves. And all these auto-thieves belong to the so- called high families.

To get rich quick has been their ambition—not hard work, not sustained pursuits of high order but just anything that can get them quick returns in the form of good money—that has led them to these nefarious ways. 

Ethics and values need to be imbibed among students.

Impact of Value Education on Students • Intellectual depth among students demonstrated by a

willingness to become involved in complex thinking

across the curriculum;

the cluster;

• (Students developed) a greater sense of

awareness and a personal sense of right

and wrong

Tata ChemicalsTata Chemicals spends Rs 12 crore on CSR annually, and wildlife conservation accounts for 30 per cent of the budget of the Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development. 

In Gujarat, Tata Chemicals has been responsible for sealing up the ancient wells in Gir Forest which were a danger to the Asiatic Lion and it is now working to protect the marine turtle which lands for breeding along the Gujarat coast. 

The most vivid image of CSR at Tata Chemicals, however, is a whale shark, the largest fish in the ocean, which the company has been working to save from extinction along the Gujarat coast. Ten years ago, at a time when whale sharks were being massacred at the rate of 500 a year, Tata Chemicals joined hands with the Wildlife Trust of India to launch a series of programs to spread awareness and save the endangered species.
