VBE• Education opens up our mind, but Value-Based Education (VBE) gives us purity
of heart too.• Education provides us with skills, but VBE provides us sincerity too. • Education extends our relationship with the world, but VBE links us with our own
family members too. • Education makes our living better, but VBE makes our life better too.• Education teaches us to compete with others, but VBE encourages us to be
complete too.• Education makes us a good professional, but VBE makes us a whole human too.• Education takes us to the top, but VBE takes the whole society to the top. • Education gives us capacity of better learning, but VBE gives us the tool for a
deeper understanding too.• Education may bring limitations but VBE is for liberation.
"THE REAL DIFFICULTY IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT EDUCATION TRULY IS. WE ASSESS THE VALUE OF EDUCATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS WE ASSESS THE VALUE OF LAND OR OF SHARES IN THE STOCK-EXCHANGE MARKET. WE WANT TO PROVIDE ONLY SUCH EDUCATION AS WOULD ENABLE THE STUDENT TO EARN MORE. WE HARDLY GIVE ANY THOUGHT TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CHARACTER OF THE EDUCATED. THE GIRLS, WE SAY, DO NOT HAVE TO EARN; SO WHY SHOULD THEY BE EDUCATED? AS LONG AS SUCH IDEAS PERSIST THERE IS NO HOPE OF OUR EVER KNOWING THE TRUE VALUE OF EDUCATION".
– Gandhi

"THERE IS A PART OF A CHILD'S SOUL THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNKNOWN BUT WHICH MUST BE
KNOWN. WITH A SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE AND ENTHUSIASM WE MUST GO IN SEARCH LIKE THOSE
WHO TRAVEL TO FOREIGN LANDS AND TEAR UP MOUNTAINS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR HIDDEN
GOLD. THIS IS WHAT THE ADULTS MUST DO WHO SEEKS THE UNKNOWN FACTOR THAT LIES
HIDDEN IN THE DEPTHS OF A CHILD'S SOUL. THIS IS A LABOR IN WHICH ALL MUST SHARE,
WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF NATION, RACE, OR SOCIAL STANDING SINCE IT MEANS THE
BRINGING FORTH OF AN INDISPENSABLE ELEMENT FOR THE MORAL PROGRESS OF MANKIND."
- Maria Montessori
CONCLUDING THOUGH
“Let there become of you a
nation that shall call for
righteousness, enjoin justice
and forbid evil. Such men will
surely triumph.” (the Holy
Quran 3: 104)
