Today, EDC has more than 300 active members. The founders of the EDC laid down the mission in clear words: that the EDC work to form well motivated, intellectually competent, morally upright, socially committed, and spiritually inspired teachers across the country. The EDC is determined to promote value education and the human resources of students through training, workshops, seminars, symposiums, etc. It is the faith of the council that all socioeconomic and political ills and evils in this country can be cured with value education. The EDC is dedicated to encouraging teachers and academicians for social and educational causes.
Our aim is to make academic communities aware of their duties towards society. The council has been trying to eradicate social abuse, juvenile delinquency, and promote women’s empowerment. The Council is making efforts to focus on the implementation of right education in schools.
The council is serious about motivating cultural education along with skill development and job oriented education. The EDC has opened its website, which is of great help to its members who can participate in a nation-wide debate/dialogue on the aforesaid issues and thereby contribute to furthering the cause of education in the country. Education is the holiest aspect of a human being, which illuminates a nation and the world.
In present circumstances, we are passing through a period of value crisis. This is a high time to take stock of deteriorating conditions of the value system in order to inculcate basic human values such as truth, justice, peace, love, cooperation, law, nonviolence, etc. in the younger generation for peace. Education is considered the most important tool for human resource development: knowledge, skill, reasoning, ability, attitude, emotional balance, dedication, confidence, etc. it is a means of overcoming hardship and achieving greater social equality. Many people would say that the purpose of education should be to develop every individual to his full potential and give them a chance to achieve as much in life as their natural abilities allow.
But very few people would accede to the present educational ecology that can accomplish the desired goal perfectly. The critical importance of education in all societies is creating moral unity, social cohesion, harmony, and values, which are the foundation of society. The ideal educational reforms required to create structures, programs, and curricula that are technically advanced, practically employable, rationally encouraging and developing human resources for social unity, peace, scientific spirit, industrial progress, and moral values. Therefore, there is a requirement of good teachers who are creators of a good human mind.
