All human beings continuously aspire for a happy life, a fulfilling and successful life, and the purpose of education is to provide adequate competence to actualize this aspiration.

It is essential to understand - what is really VALUABLE for a human being, and what is really conducive (contributive) to be happy and fulfilling life? - this is the value domain.

Then, one should know - How to actualize it? How to make it happen? - This is the domain of SKILLS.

There is an essential complementarity between "VALUE" and "SKILLS" for the success of any human endeavour. 


What is Value Education?

The value of an entity is its participation in the larger order of which it is a part. 

The value of a human being is its natural or expected participation in the larger order - at the level of the individual, at the level of family, at the level of society and ultimately, at the level of nature/existence. 

The part of education that deals with understanding one's participation in the larger order, thus ensuring it in living, is called Value Education.
