Education is holiest aspect of human being which illuminates nation and the world. In
present circumstances we are passing through a period of value crisis. This is high time to
take stock of deteriorating conditions of value system in order to inculcate basic human
values such as truth, justice, peace, love, co-operation, law, nonviolence etc. in 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, achieving greater social equality. Many
people would say that the purpose of education should be develop every individual to his full
potential, and gave them a chance to achieve as much in life as their natural abilities allow
him. But very few persons 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, programme and curricula that are technically advanced,
practically employable, rationally encouraging and developing human resource for social
unity, peace, scientific spirit, industrial progress and moral values. Therefore, there is
requirement of good teachers who are creator of good human mind.
