Value based Quality propositions In Education
Medi-caps University always endeavors to spread the light of knowledge across the regions. The value-based quality education provides a strong foundation to our legacy. As soon as I started my journey as an academician I have been thinking about the art of education. During one of the faculty development programs I attended each participant was asked to say in a sentence something about their interest. Without hesitation, I replied, "I touch the future. I teach".
When I ponder what is happening in
some education institutes, I get disappointed. Having a degree doesn’t give
people power. Real power is being able to make the choice between good or evil,
life, and death, between empowerment and nurturing of people or putting people
down. Education is too often viewed as the exit route to a better lifestyle
rather than the beginning of a journey, which will take a lifetime.
We at Medicaps university believe
that “Education shapes the destiny of mankind” and the quality of life in depth
cannot be achieved unless the human society is empowered with the input of
knowledge and technology. But evolution is possible only if it is properly
blended with character building and developments. The value-based quality
proposition in education includes a greater range of human talent and a much
more inclusive number of human beings. It is an education that simply
liberates. Medi-caps University is pioneering in conceiving this thought as we
have organized many AICTE approve Faculty Development Programs on Universal
Human Values.
Mahatma Gandhi cited the major
structural and collective sins of our time:
1. Politic without principles.
2. Wealth without work.
3. Pleasure without conscience.
4. Knowledge without character.
5. Commerce without morality.
6. Worship without sacrifice.
7. Science and technology without humanity.
In the present environment, success is defined
by the power of the wealth that one holds. All the symbols, ranging from who
occupies the best office, to the size of the paycheque, In this context, we can
easily figure out that the missing link is the value based quality of the education system and at Medicaps
University our endeavor is to inculcate this philosophy into our system.
The Course of the education system
Life discovers its own
course and the same has been applicable to our education system. But ‘life’ is not
the mere existence but about becoming more evolved human beings
We expect that a value-based quality education
system should produce an educated person who apart from possessing specialized
knowledge and skills like reading, writing, talking and puzzle-solving should also
be
Rigor and truth-seeking: A truly educated person
loves to learn. True rigor is noble, good but it is also dangerous if it is not
placed at the service of a larger vision that also renders it humane. We must
never forget that the gas chambers of Europe were invented by the educated.
Tolerant and humble: The liberally educated
person opposes parochialism and celebrates the wider world. Encourage students
to travel, to embrace new cultures while honoring their own, to respect
diversity.
Strive to make the world a better
place: Learning to get things done in the world in order to leave it in a
better shape is one of the practical implications of education. As the great
Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the accomplished concert organist, theologian,
missionary, and the medical doctor said "You may have a great education, you
may have the name of a great college behind you, you have great careers ahead
of you, but if you do not block out at least a small part of your life to give
to others, you will never be truly happy."
Nurtures and empowers: No one ever acts alone.
The achievement of power, the exercise of talent, the celebration of diversity
is the recognition that the triumph of one is in fact the triumph of all.
Value-based education is about
nurturing the human spirit, exploring human freedom, and realizing that
education is never really complete. In the act of exercising our freedom, we do
so in such a way as to make a difference in our world. Education without ethics
is arrogant and dangerous. Actions sound louder than the words .so rather than
only sticking to facilitate the bookish knowledge we should practice real-time
training and ethics in our behavior with a rigorous use of intellect.
If we who are in the business of
educating the young want to measure and assess our efforts we need to look at
how our institutions nurture human freedom in the service of humanity.
I invite all the students and other
valuable stakeholders to join hands with Medi-Caps University in this noble
endeavor of Medi-Caps University.
