Education Without Values
October 22nd, 2009Incredible advancement has been made in a number of steps of life. While, on the other hand, painful sufferings such as deficiency, inequality, violence and contamination still stay behind in this amalgamate planet. This dilemma increasing day-by-day and the reason behind this is only the education without values. No doubt, we all are the part of this world district and a respectable member of society and always we have the ability to make extensive choices that suits best to our necessities. As per our children education we all uses the above ability, but in some extent we are failed somewhere in arena; choosing the pre-eminent education that suits best to our children to be successful and honorable person in life.
No doubt, factual education is the training of both the cranium and the heart. We might have developed physically, but not mentally or may say spiritually. As per the intention of education, the one that intend at preparing the students in expertise of self-determination and functionality is conceivably the most imperative. Not having such accepted wisdom; it is so-called off beam direction and meaningless chasing. The truth is education exclusive of skillfulness is of inferior quality and seems rejected education at all. As we see around, we may found thousand of universities and colleges which are producing degree holders on towering rate. Even they are providing skilful education to the youth for employment but the problem has another dimension and that is the absence of educational values.
Here, I will try to summarize the true meaning of values based education. Academic qualifications or academic education controls or may say sway the cranium; the head where as value¬ based education sway the heart. In fact, education is very much desirable; but education without character is too dangerous. If we want to build character in our community or in our families, we must attain a least amount of honorable and principled perspective of level education. Values such as respect, tolerance, cooperation, truthfulness, kindness, pushiness, audacity and responsibility must be practically role-modeled to become a part of behavior for the young people such as: Students will learn the values if teachers model these value themselves. Character building and teaching values formed in numerous decisive years, because a child is not born with this knowledge. Actually, we all have to understand that we need values based education, on a very high bit rate than of academic education. A person who has academic qualifications as well as value based education will always remain superior from others or may say always successful in life.
It is obviously true that gaining and learning is an enduring process that needs to be spacious and cavernous in life. The meaning of life, principles of livelihood and on the whole well-being of the general public depend on a huge scope of values we live by and the features that are made by folks within it. Education must help individuals to recognize and take up personal and shared values that they can call on to lead the decisions they make. It must help them build up a deepness of spirit and a comprehensible intellect of their own identity, integrity and other vital aspects in life. We must learn the values that are necessary to construct mass of rights and responsibilities.
There is a great call-for to endow current education being conveyed to children with values of humanity, in order to craft them so-called good human beings. This article is also set to converse the necessity of value education in an effective manner to maxim the sow of sympathy in the young brains. Young or immature mentalities have power, oblige and inquisitiveness, but need direction and indication to make their ride towards maturity and insight is to be protected and unbeatable. We all have to understand education without values is not advantageous to anyone. Values bring excellence and sense to life and give a person his uniqueness and personality. In an appropriate environment, youth can be taught, gain and express subsequent values, habits and behaviors. Society cannot prosper if its youth seems to be as bedbugs through defective learning practices and if they cannot hold productive enterprises. Indeed young minds are a lot productive soil inside which such values may cultivate and boom. Take an example of farm that needs good soil, water and atmosphere to grow though it has rewarding revenue later inside, same as a student has all potential to generate impressive results if only the cultivation in them done positively where as a student if provided terrible upbringing and poorly comprising prospectus then he may not make as per his potential. Education is required to have honorable and pious doctrine and values. Mostly, children absorb values from their parents, teachers or whatever from their elders. It is also compulsory that we intentionally edify them the exact values exactly from their infancy. What they are taught at this inauguration stage it will reside with them all through their life. Hence significance ought to be given to conveying a value-based education.
At last, value education is emerging as a challenge in front of today’s advanced world. Values based education ascends us to degrade the pillars of egoism, fear, frustration, annoyance, envy, greediness and selfishness which are ordinary in organic existence. In value education, the principle is to twist a human being who could survive as an asset to the planet and at instance sense happiness in fulfilling his actions and therefore, prolong his survival. Values are apparent in actions of an individual and that is experienced in the time of challenge. Hence, a man with right knowledge understands his existence and fall in love with human beings and other beautiful creatures. Thus, humanity surge as an innate spirit of a truly educated man. This represents his understanding and perception which is the aim of value based education.

Dear Arsalan;
If we all have some conscience left in us…..this article of yours should be an eye opener….as one of my good friend has said ” we have gone into intellectual bankruptcy “…..under the circumstances how do we expect especially our new generation to understand even the normal values of life which has eroded from our society overtime……if our elders & intellectuals were foresighted, our generation especially the new generation would not be suffering the pain & shortcomings in the present time…….speaking of educational values is a longshot……absence of which has deteriorated to such an extent that the very foundation & fabric of our society has started to decay…….it is now too late & cleasing ( revolution ) is the only viable solution for the survival of our country…….this may sound a bit pessimistic but we may live or not but our beloved country must survive for the next generation & we will be history……..we have not been fair to ourselve – our children – & our country – each one of us has been living for himself…& the subsequent consequences is all in front of us……
In the end I would like to thank Arsalan for such a valuable contribution & salute him for his way of thinking being so young himself….& pray to Allah swt for more such Arsalans who can carry on with some concrete contributions for the sake of our country…..if there is anything I can contribute; please call…..someone like me may make a difference……
I like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing such a nice article. I read many articles but I didn’t saw any article as your’s until yet, in which uncountable thoughts emerged in precise and conceptual way. Your article gave me a new way of thinking. Really, I didn’t thought about educational values before. I always thought to attain advanced education but the concept of values I missed somewhere in the race to gain valuable degrees and certificates. Many people wrote on this topic but no one else can amalgamate in such a nice way as you can. Keep it up…. Gud work…. Also, if any help needed from my side in anything in any way just call me too….
I did not realise that there are people of similar thinkings out within short distance …..I am so gald to happen to read these words, which are my own thoughts as well.
I salute you for making an effort to put forward this article. I am sure many will read it and will agree to what is the FACT.
I urge all out there whoever gets to read this article to spread the link and let us move forward as better human beings not just as educators.
“Let us not judge others by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
It is so very true that the real education anyone can ever get is how to be a good human being. Our first and foremost religion should be humanity. If we fail to acheive the heights of being a “Momin”, then perhaps all our efforts may go to drain making many tears fall along, making many die, depriving many of blessings of the creater…….
