Value educationMany parents want their children to be highly educated
in academic terms.
When children become students and go to 5th standard or may be earlier,
they want to get into the best college in the world.
When it comes to marriage, the girls want their husband to be hightly
educated academically and the husband wants his world be wife to
be highly educated.

Our cofounder Sanjay Bapat became engineer, did his MBA (MMS in
Mumbai) but he hardly gave importance to education is classroom.
He used to bunk engineering college and play cricket, football and
badminton and when he did his MBA, he used to play carrom when there
were classes or go to library. But he passed. He knew what they
ask in academic exams because he used to go to library and see the
questions asked in papers in last few years. And study the answers.

He never thought academic education was important.
For him the importance of education was VALUE education, which means
to understand importance of the issue and see the answer to the
issue.
Whether it is history, geography, science ... he wanted to know
the actual historical scenario or actual geography and in classroom
he was told that the desert area is ....., there is more monsoon
in ..... He never questioned the teacher because he did not know
what to ask or did not have daring to ask ... so he listened just
for the examination and not learning.

He always thought that he should pass the exam and get into college
and when he was in college he thought pass the exam and get into
post graduation, get married...

He hardly gave importance to lectures not because they were boring
but what was taught was there in the books. There was hardly any
practicals which demonstrated e.g. hardly can one actually see desert
or heavy mosoon areas in Arunachal Pradesh in India (in school days
his thinking was limited to India) ... or 2 + 2 = 4 or the square
of 34 was 1156 (in schools, one passes when she / he gets 35 marks,
so 34) .. now there are calculators

When he visited companies or NGOs or political leaders, they hardly
talk about history of the company or the NGO or political party
or country because their focus is present and their stragegy is
for the future. They know the history of the company or NGO or country
and that is the base on which the present condition is and they
think about the future of the company or NGO or country and what
changes need to be done. Ask them about history or geography taught
in classes and they say, "that is histroy and we have not time
to discuss this", yes, they say that it is history, which means
histroy is known but they can not remember the entire history which
was taught in their school.

CSRidentity.com plans to make 28 CDs by 28.3.2019 on various things
like 7 wonders, UNESCO world heritage sites, deserts, 28 heavy monsoon
locations, 28 rivers, 5 oceans, 28 religious locations, 28 historical
locations ... parts & purpose of human body like eyes, ears,
nose, mouth, sparsh or brain, heart, hands, legs, sexual organs
... fearless people who have incurable disesases .....from videos
that are shared on youtube.com by people or people we know or other
sources ... because we want people to see what they talk, understand
the things they talk.....

That is a small way of adding value to what we learn which is an
integral part of Value education (Not financial value but VALUE).
