As we look back on the past two years and harsh repercussions of the pandemic; it is apparent the worst impacted sector was education. None of the education institutions were prepared to embraces the shift to online mode of education. However with the support of teachers and parents we did a herculean job to impart the learning as per requirement. We humbly admit the positive and negative impact on the young students. After the pandemic years we make every effort to restore the education systems to its normalcy. Mahathma Gandhi said ‘education without character is social evil’. Foundation of human values is to be nurtured and developed in the school years of life for a nation building. Teachers have an important role to play in imparting value based education. Values are those principles which help to improve the quality of life. Values form the basis of character formation and personality development. The values that spring from within like love, compassion, sympathy and tolerance lay the foundation for the external practiced values like honest, discipline, punctuality and loyalty. Today’s fast-paced competitive world, it seems many have compromised on these values to earn and possess more and more of material wealth. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reintroduce and reorient the value based education in our schools. For value-based teachings and educations, the first teacher is the family. It is the parents, who tend to lend the first lessons and it on them that rest the foundation – laying responsibility of the young mind. Value-based education provides a successful environment for teaching and learning of the full range of academic, social and interpersonal skills. Therefore our motto is ‘compete with yourself (self Knowledge) not with others, don’t aim to be first, aim to be the best and excellence is spirituality. “To know, is good, to live, is better, to be, that is perfect”.
