Reflections on Values Education

Everyone ought to be profoundly concerned with the ""development"" of the leaner and consequently the development of society. The ultimate standard (value) for such development is to attain a more adequate level of value and moral awareness, sensitivity, reasoning, and action.
The why, what, and how of the value education ""emphasis"" are being seriously confronted in a more dedicate and systematic manner. This is perhaps symptomatic of something much deeper in our personal and social fabric. Dissonance, conflict, tensions are inevitable ingredients in our development toward self-actualization as we struggle with the sticky matter of life.
The challenges are many, the roads are arduous, and the journey is lengthy but who cannot say immensely worthwhile and ""Value-able"".
