Education and character building

Education and Character Building

This is the current trend. From the headmaster to the teachers and from the teachers to the students the emphasis is on academic excellence. According to Mahatma Gandhi, “Education is the process of training and developing knowledge, skills, mind, and character”. School is the place to mold one’s character by training and disciplining the mind. It is also the place to instill moral values such as humility, honesty, empathy, and truthfulness. It is sad to say that even the basic value of politeness is missing among some of our students. Things like “Thank you”, “Yes, please” and ‘I am sorry” do not come out of their mouths often enough. Your character is formed by your daily habits in bits and pieces. Cultivate good habits while you are young. A person with good character will have an edge over others in the job market.
