Values are the ones being applied in one’s life.  They are very important in guiding the life direction of an individual.  Aside from home, much values are learned and applied in school and these are beneficial to the learners.

          Good values are important in the field education for these values are the guiding stars of every learning in his/her holistic development in all aspects namely cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual.   By means of good values being learned in school, we expect to create not only quality learners but also learners filled with virtues.

          The virtues learned by the student in school will be the instrument in facing various school challenges and undertakings for further learning and progress. Undeniably, those people who became truly successful and became icons of world history are the ones gifted with good values learned from the school.

          Good values like honesty, industry, hard work, perseverance, patience, love, faith and among othersheaded the leaders not only of education but also of nations to pursue their great visions and missions for their fellows.  So, it is just right that our educators should emphasize these good values for the young ones to follow.

          The world will be a better place to live if the people are showered with essential values needed in realizing service not only for oneself but also for others and the reality is that these are first learned in school.

          The fact is given that a person who is educated possesses values which are inspiring to the eyes of the others and these values will influence them to become a better person.  Moreover, the values being possessed by the educated person can stimulate the mind and emotion of others.

          The moral values learned in school yield positive effects not only to one person who acquired them but also will have an impact on others.  That is why we have to be thankful for education it does not only teach knowledge but also noble values.

          Generally, good values are important in the field of education for they are parts of the core or substance of education. Good values are very vital in the education of the learners.

          Uphold good values for they are truly beneficial!
