Values education

Values education is when grown-ups, like your teachers or parents, want you to learn about being a good and kind person. It means that they want you to know about important values, such as caring for others, honesty, fairness, responsibility, and respect.

Values education is something that happens at school and at home. You may learn about it during special classes or activities in school or when your teacher talks about how to behave in class or on the playground. At home, your parents might teach you to be a good person by giving you rules to follow, like not hitting your siblings or saying please and thank you.

The goal of values education is to help young people become good and responsible grown-ups. By learning about values, you may be less likely to do bad things, like steal or lie, and more likely to help others and be kind to them. So, it's important to pay attention when your teacher or parents talk about values education, and try to practice what you learn in your daily life.
