SRINAGAR, MAY 15
Minister for Education and Haj and Auqaf, Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed has said that government has asked all the 30,000 government and private schools of the state to strictly teach moral education to students adding that question of sex education in the schools does not arise at all.
Minister was addressing Silver Jubilee Celebration function of Cooperative Schools at Abhinav Theatre, Jammu yesterday.
Mr. Sayeed said that under a pilot Project on value education, consistent with the local cultural ethos, 100 schools are being covered under the project. He said that as a result of workshops and interactions with prominent educationists and academicians, 50 odd modules on value education were formulated and debated upon, out of which 22 modules have been cleared.
The themes chosen for this pilot project include adherence on truth, honesty, sincerity, parents rights, sacrifice, selflessness, gender issues, life skills, balanced emotional development, environmental issues, neighbours rights and help to disabled. He said that the focus of the pilot project would be to help create an environment in educational institutions where values are imbibed by children in the normal course rather than being formally taught. The objective is that children eventually live these values rather than mere learning them.
Later Mr. Sayeed distributed medals to leading schools. IAS and KAS officers, alumni of Cooperative schools were also honoured on this occasion.
