CBSE launches value education kit

A day after new Human Resource Development Minister M.M. Pallam Raju laid stress on the need for ethical education in the school curriculum, the Central Board of Secondary Education came out with a "value education kit". The Value Education Kit consists of a Values Education Teachers Handbook and a CD with eight songs symbolising the values of peace, solidarity and respect for nature. The kit also has activity cards for students from nursery to standard 12. The Values Education curriculum aims to provide a number of exciting learning experiences through the Values Education Kit. The Values Education Teachers' Handbook is a valuable resource for teachers to easily draw ideas for conducting lively and interactive sessions in their classes.
"The activities, designed by experts in the field of education, allow for more critical thinking about economic, social and moral issues as well as about universal human values. The materials offered are highly interactive, addressing current issues with opportunities for critical thinking," said a statement from HRD ministry.
