SEE LEARNING AND IT'S EFFECTIVENESS IN ENRICHING CHILDREN WITH VALUES TO CATER THE NEEDS OF TODAY'S COMPLEX AND HETEROGENEOUS SOCIETY

“Value” – It helps to achieve what no country can buy”. As it is said, without the study of human values that
can make every child a more kind, compassionate and empathic person and foster emotional intelligence in
every child, education would undoubtedly fall short. It is evident that values are something important to an
individual or collectively to a group or a body, be it a society, a community, an organization, nation or
humankind as a whole and builds up a healthy society, where everyone is entitled to equal opportunities and
have a sense of equally responsible in performing their duties. The purpose of education is holistic development
of student’s personality, which means the integrated development of body, mind, intellect, and soul. It can be
achieved by educating individuals in such a way that their emotional, social, ethical, cultural and academic
needs have to be integrated in their education process. The Dalai Lama, thus advocates for holistic approach to
education in the form of SEE Learning in collaboration with Emory University that cultivates, alongside
traditional academic subjects, a benevolent and ethical mindset grounded in the basic human values that can be
discerned through common sense, common experience, and science. This program is based on focal values or
central values which are beyond any tradition, culture and religion and also accepted as core of any tradition,
culture or religion – intended to fostering social, emotional, ethical development of learner as well as teacher
and administrators based on scientific approach and “secular ethics” acceptable to people of any or no religious
faith.
