Following the recent gang rape in the capital, the Prime Minister’s Office has asked the Ministry of Human Resource Development to emphasise teaching moral science at the school level and include chapters on value education in textbooks. The HRD Ministry has written to the Central Board of School Education and state school boards to act on PMO’s advice.
Meanwhile, the National Curriculum Framework is said to launch a full-fledged subject on value education soon. The CBSE had even brought out a handbook on value education for teachers, guiding them to impart values through innovative means.
