cover what interests them. This gives them the basic building

Education should lead to the development of integrated
personal- ity and inculcate values like patriotism. Spirit of national
unity and a healthy appreciation of the rich variety of cultural
expressions and promote a humanistic outlook. Education is a
cultural phenomenon or cultural action. It is demonstrated in the
sense that the culture and education promote each other
mutually. Each culture develops its own specific form for its
illumination, tradition and development. In other words, culture
creates education. Thus culture and edu- cation show themselves
to be essential criteria for human existence as such. According
to Jones (1979) ”Education has to its content a particular
objective-the independence of the individual, which es- sentially
comprehends the capacity for responsibility and with the
achievement of this, a particular end in time”.

Formal and Informal Approach
When the learners are taught about difficult values by using
formal ways, it may not leave much effect. Here, materials from
books are taught with a motive of teaching certain values.
Television is shown by using formal situations in order to inculcate
different values.
On the other hand, in informal approach, the learner or the
re- ceiver of values is unaware of values. He reads some material
from the books and is able to pick up values of life incident by
incident. This type of learning is of greater value and lasts longer.
