...Importance of Value Education in Modern time Beena Indrani* Everyone knows that life is precious – that life is important. We all protect our life because we care for it more than anything else. If life is so important, the values of life are even more important. Values are guiding principles, or standards of behaviour which are regarded desirable, important and held in high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives. "The Importance of Values and Morals are the code we live by in a civil and just society. They are what we use to guide our interactions with others, with our friends and family, in our businesses and professional behaviour. Our values and morals are a reflection of our spirituality; our character. They are what we hope to model for our children and the children around us, because children do watch us as they develop their own sense of right and wrong. Value education means inculcating in the children sense humanism, a deep concern for the wellbeing of others and the nation. This can be accomplished only when we instill in the children a deep feeling of commitment to values that would build this country and bring back to the people pride in work that brings order, security and assured progress. A person with proper values will not be afraid to face problems. He or she will expect and accept them as part of life. He or she will not give un necessary importance to anything that happens in life. He or she will have complete faith in God. Such a person...

...Japanese and India Cultures All countries in the world are unique and differ greatly from one another. Even though, they have many differences, they still have many things in common. When one thinks of Japan and India, not many similarities come to mind. They may come up with similarities such as, Japan and India are both Asian countries and both have roots in Buddhism. But, actually they share several more cultural similarities. The Japanese culture and the Indian culture are similar in that they both believe in the importance of a joint family system, education and gender roles, but they differ greatly when it comes to marriages. In both Japan and India, the family is the most important social unit. It is not uncommon to have extended families living under one roof. The extended family would include members like one’s parents, children, the children’s spouses, their children and grandparents. The extended family system allows the older generation to share knowledge about the cultures and traditions of their country to the younger generation. Both Japan and India have strong gender roles that remain the cornerstone of the family responsibilities. Both countries, believe the men are the sole bread- winners and they are responsible for the financial security of the household. The women are responsible for all the household chores, raising the children, and being obedient to her husband. The children are taught discipline, restraint and the importance of an education...

...Introduction Why do students choose to study overseas? Demand for education, particularly higher education, has traditionally been driven by expectations of its ability to raise the economic and social status of the graduate. For people in less developed countries, limited access to education in their own countries led to a significant rise in the number of international students studying overseas. Between 1960 and 1970, the average growth in international student flows was around 9 per cent, and continued at about 6 per cent from 1970 to 1980 (Hughes, 1988). While there is some evidence of a slowing in the overall flow of international students during the 1980s and 1990s (Kemp, 1995), a global industry has been created. The global pattern of international student flows may be explained by a combination of ``push and pull'' factors that encourage students to study overseas. ``Push'' factors operate within the source country and initiate a student's decision to undertake international study. ``Pull'' factors operate within a host country to make that country relatively attractive to international students. Some of these factors are inherent in the source country, some in the host country and others in the students themselves. Abstract Examines the factors motivating international student choice of the host country. It describes a ``pushpull'' model motivating the student's desire to seek overseas education and influencing the decision process in selection of a final study...

...India is a country that is accredited for being amongst the leading flag bearers to enlighten the primitive world dominated by ignorant people. It was India that realized the importance of aspects of life other than filling the stomach and covering the bodies, man is a special animal, special because of the grey matter God provided and it was India that by promoted free and radical thinking helped in quenching the thirsty brains. But on comparing the past with the present we find a sharp contrast in terms of the quality of intellectuals produced by the country, in the mad race for materialism it seems that the basic fundamentals that made us a great country are being trampled underfoot. Intellects are people who see the world from a different perspective and on the larger canvas. It is such people who contribute to the world hence moving it in a progressive direction as is a saying ‘Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people’. The intellectual growth of a person begins right from childhood when he starts to develop a thinking brain, when he questions the different aspects of life and the process continues till the individual survives so the primary reason for the stark decline in the level of intellect has to be improper foundation and upbringing in terms of the type and style of education bestowed upon them. Nowadays, due to the education curriculum in practice, a lot of emphasis is given on the bookish knowledge, be it the class...

...(M.phil Education (2014-16)) INTRODUCTION Before discussing the concept of cost of education, it is necessary to distinguish between the terms, ‘expenditure’ on education and ‘costs’ of education which are often synonymously used. That part of expenditure which has some relationship with the production process and the output only can be referred to as costs. A major part of costs are a part of expenditure but not vice versa. While costs can include imputed items like opportunity costs, generally expenditure does not include such things. Further expenditure can be expressed only in monetary terms, while costs can be expressed in monetary as well as in real or physical terms. Statistics on costs of education are of utmost importance for educational planning. Estimates of costs are essential for estimating resources required for educational sector and for various sub – sectors of education. They also help us in understanding whether resources allocated to education reflect optimal level or not and within education whether resources are optimally allocated between different layers of education. The statistics on costs of education also are themselves indicative of efficiency of educational system, besides facilitating one to find out the cost effectiveness or cost- benefit ratio of the educational system as a whole and of the different levels of the system. For modern welfare governments whose one of the main objectives is equity, analysis of costs of education do help in...
