PHILOSOPHY OF VALUE ORIENTED EDUCATION-1I One of the most important programmes of Teacher Education has to be that of Value Oriented Education. The need for value-oriented education requires clarification. I Value-Oriented Education Inherent in the Concept of Education There are at least three fundamental assumptions of the educational process: a. There is, first, the pursuit of man to know himself and the Universe and to relate himself with the Universe as harmoniously as possible. This pursuit constitutes the very theme of human culture.

PHILOSOPHY OF SPIRITUAL EDUCATION II A philosophical study of Spiritual Education needs to delve in to the field of the spirituality at a deeper level, so that we can propose a programme of Spiritual Education as a programme of the discovery and realization of the Spirit with as much pedagogical rigor as he employ in the realm of the discovery and realization of the natures and power of Matter, Life and Mind. We have also to show the relevance of Spiritual Education to the programme of enrichment and fulfillment of life and consequent fulfillment of the various activities of Matter, Life and Mind, which are at presence pursued in School Education.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE? I Making of a teacher differs significantly from making, say, of an advocate or a surgeon. The teacher is more than a mere skilled performer in a branch of his profession. Of course, he must have the best of skill in accustoming the pupil to the austere joy of mastering a difficult theme, be it quadratic equation or the equation E=MC2 or any other theme. But, in the end, when the frontiers of knowledge change, the importance and even the validity of what is learnt may not survive. What survives is the discipline of learning and the values acquired in the process. Whatever be the topic the teacher teaches, the ultimate values of

PHILOSOPHY OF VALUE ORIENTED EDUCATION-1 There is a need to clarify the term, value. Evidently the word 'value' is not to be taken in the sense in which it is used in Economics. The word 'value' as understood in the context of educational philosophy refers to those desirable ideals and goals which are intrinsic in themselves and which, when achieved or attempted to be achieved, evoke a deep sense of fulfillment to one or many or all parts of what we consider to be the highest elements of our nature. In a sense, it may be urged that the word 'value' is basically indefinable since it denotes a fundamental category and it is itself the highest

NOTES RELATING TO PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION AND LIFE Perennial Aims of Education There are three fundamental ideas underlying the educational process. There is, first, the pursuit of man to know himself and the universe and to relate himself with the universe as .effectively as possible. This pursuit constitutes the very theme of human culture, and education derives its fundamental thrust from the cultural setting at a given point of time. Secondly, there is a process of transmission of the accumulated results of the past to the growing generation so as to enable it to carry forward the cultural heritage and to build

PHILOSOPHY OF VALUE-ORIENTED EDUCATION - III (Issue of "FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES") We are passing through a critical stage of a battle between the best possibilities and the worst possibilities. At a time when forces of unity and harmony can triumph and science and technology can be used to abolish poverty and deprivation, precisely at that time, the forces of violence and gravitational pulls of impulses of the lower human nature are pressing forward on a global scale. Rationality, in which humanity has placed great trust for arriving at the fulfillment of its ideals of true knowledge and comprehensive knowledge, appears to be overtaken

Philosophy and Process of Education for Integral Development of Personality I We may begin with a brief reference to the 1972 Report of the International Commission on Development of Education, established by UNESCO, — the Report which conveys its theme so aptly through its own title, "Learning to be". The Report had become very famous during the seventies, but it has unfortunately receded into the background. To know, to possess and to be this the central demand of life, and, rightly, this ought to be the central demand of education, particularly when, as in the Report, there
