While we are becoming more and more concerned about childrens physical health, we are totally forgetting about their mental health. Todays children pick up and learn bad habits from every where. Teaching of moral values in schools is there only in paper because it is not counted for admission to higher studies or for getting a job. Educational Institutions are becoming business enterprises where degrees are sold at a price. In many cases even skills are not taught properly and certificates are provided just for attending the courses. result Companies start another set of educational institutes to teach them job skills and behaviour skills. Parents and Guadians of Children Just want their wards to be some one by hook or crook. Children watch you. They see when by becoming a Politicain is easy and you can become rular and chairmen of Public sector why have professional degrees and MBA's. Some Children wants to become filma actors and sports personalities rather than Engineer, Scientist, Doctor and so on. It is easier path to become rich and famous. Every Child wants to appear on Small screen today. Every child wants to be a sports person not because he want to enjoy the spirit of psortmanship and learn active participation and take success and failure equally, but because he can earn wealth and fame. Every child wants to appear on big or small screen not because he wants to entertain others and show his art to others and teach others, but because it earns him fame and wealth and later he can enter Politics.
How can we change this situation? Can we make Moral education and sports in schools as important as other subjects.
