Academic prowess isn’t enough to shape responsible citizens in our ever-evolving world. Our mission at Value Education Trust is underpinned by research from esteemed sources, emphasising the significance of character education. Credible studies from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) underscore the essential role of values and ethics in a child’s upbringing in the Indian context.

Families, schools, and communities have long been recognised as the pillars of ethical and moral development. However, the socio-economic challenges of the families we serve often hinder their effectiveness.

Our comprehensive character education program spans three years, with weekly sessions. It covers a spectrum of values such as resilience, determination, consistency, growth mindset, duty consciousness, observation, communication, respect, passion, self-care, self-esteem, eco-friendliness, perseverance, sacrificial mindset, empowerment of others, doing good, farsightedness, dedication, respect for women, compassion, inclusive mindset, optimism, other-centredness, role-modelling and technological discernment.

Why is character education during the formative years so pivotal?

  • Firstly, it lays the foundation for the children’s moral and ethical values, helping them develop a strong sense of right and wrong.
  • Secondly, the formative years are crucial for shaping behaviour patterns, and character education instils positive traits that can influence their actions throughout their life.
  • Moreover, it equips the children with the skills needed for healthy social interactions, promoting empathy, respect, and cooperation.
  • Character education fosters resilience and integrity, which are vital for overcoming challenges and making principled decisions.
  • Finally, it prepares children to become responsible, compassionate, and active members of society, contributing to a better and more harmonious world.

Join us in this transformative journey. Together, we can invest in our children’s character, preparing them to lead with empathy, resilience, and compassion. Our future leaders should not just be successful but also good at heart. What do you think about character education’s role in shaping responsible citizens?
