Value-based education is character-oriented education that instills basic values and ethnic values in one's psyche. Value education is a discipline that helps us comprehend 'what is valued' in terms of human satisfaction. Value education is critical for everyone to improve the value system that he or she holds and uses. Once a person understands his or her own values, he or she may study and regulate the numerous decisions he or she makes in life. Value education enables us to accurately comprehend our requirements and picture our goals, as well as to resolve our conflicts and provide harmony on all levels. It also aids in the removal of our ambiguities and contradictions, allowing us to make the best use of modern advancements.
Values form the basis for all our thoughts, behaviors and actions. Once we know what is valuable to us, these values become the basis, the anchor for our actions. We also need to understand the universality of various human values, because only then we can have a definite and common program for value education. Then only we can be assured of a happy and harmonious human society.
