Education for Holistic Development Through ‘Values’ Based Quality Education Framework (VQEF)

Consistent with systems philosophy, Holistic education concerns an understanding of any body of knowledge by examining its value-interactions with other epistemological constituents that maintain the well-being of any civilization and its ecological and cosmological existence. On contrary, an atomistic and singular thrust of modern educational models promotes professional thinking by over emphasising the end purpose of economic and materialistic gains and individualistic prosperity which suffers from the disadvantage of losing sight of the feelings of brotherhood in the community and global prosperity at large. Today's need of education system is ‘Transformative Education' that can bring about a holistic change in the teacher-taught relationship by facilitating a teaching-learning ambience within which values and quality flourish more easily, naturally and organically. It will establish what is believed to be a useful way of understanding the demonstrable role being played by Values Education in transforming the role of teaching and academic institutions. It can potentially bring about a paradigm shift in providing complete education to the modern society by evolving a complete, competent and competitive person with respect to the domains like Academic Excellence, Moral and Spiritual Values, Social Sensibility, Quality and Physical Well-being. This kind of educational reform is also imperative for creating a better world-order for propagating the ethos of “Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man”.
