Sir,
Refer news item ‘NCERT to look into resuming moral education at school level’ DE Oct 29.
Mere teaching science subjects to students in this age is not going to do any good to the people of this country. Had Science alone been panacea for the ills facing the humanity, society would not have degenerated to the extent it has been right now.
Besides laws enacted for taking care of women, children and older persons are not enough to ensure that they live a dignified life. With laws we needs morals- self imposed checks on people to achieve the societal good.
Today, the situation has come to such a pass where children hardly respect their parents or elders in the society. This is obviously due to lack of sensitivity on the part of children towards this section of society. There were times in the past when teachers, gurus laid thrust on students to develop character, social responsibility and other aspect of life.
Now, times have changed. The present day teachers lay thrust on scoring marks in the examination. This has created cut throat competition among people. As a result social degeneration is rapidly making its impact in the form of crimes, deceit, theft and other vices. To avoid present day chaos and confusion in the society, it has become necessary that educational institutions introduce rather lay thrust on moral education.
Yours etc…
