After weeks of starting 'value education' in Goa school, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said that the government has received very good response and private schools have also shown interest in including 'value education' in their curriculum. The 'value education' has been included in the curriculum form this academic session in the government schools in Goa.
"From the current academic year (June 2018-19), the government started teaching Value Education to children in all schools. We are getting so good a response that even private-aided schools, including those run by Church organisations, have demanded that they want to teach Value Education in their curriculum," the chief minister said at a meeting.
However, the Chief Minister did not elaborate on the subject matter of the value education.
He also informed that starting from this academic year the state government has started distributing sanitary pads to girls in schools and colleges to promote awareness about personal hygiene. The sanitary pads are being distributed free of cost.
The Chief Minister said that the emphasis was put on personal and community hygiene. He said that the discourse on 'Swachchta' is about both personal and community hygiene.
Talking about the curriculum, he said that the government has included topics like traffic, cleanliness, and personal hygiene in the curriculum.
