Indore, Dec 23: Advocating the need for imparting value-based education, President A P J Abdul Kalam today said it would facilitate better coordination between teachers and students, leading to development of a transparent society. “In order to make a child an ideal citizen there is a need to provide an atmosphere with value-based education. A student spends nearly 25,000 hours in school from class one to twelfth, where he/she gets the value-based education from his teachers,” he said.
“If the students and teachers have better coordination then they can not only present an ideal before the society but also develop a transparent society,” Kalam said addressing the golden jubilee function of the Shri Cloth Market Vaishnav Higher Secondary School here.
The President told the children to dream big, convert them into a thought and later turn them into action.
Kalam told them if their dreams are beautiful then certainly their actions would be best and cited the example of Vikram Sarabhai, C Chandrashekhar, C V Raman and Albert Einstein in this regard.
The father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi had discovered the principle of non-violence through this process, he said.
The President said “the present academic system may give you more work load. You work a lot but I am not seeing anybody getting angry with more work. People get annoyed when there is no work for them”. Bureau Report
