MAIN BODY
From the above analysis I have evaluated that the education is important as to provide
knowledge about religion, faiths, claims, etc. further, it also helps in understanding the claims,
methodology and accept all the faiths as well. I have learnt that government schools provide
religious studies, knowledge about cultural values, along with providing academic services to the
students. It helps in providing them knowledge of religion and makes the students aware about
the religious values. It also provides them moral along with making them academic qualified.
I have found that providing knowledge about the values to each student is important for
the purpose of making them holistic developed. It is also important along with the academic
development of them. Further, by achieving the good academic qualification, one can be able to
determine the basic general knowledge about each element in the world. Having Knowledge
about the values are the key element of growing the person. In this regard, gaining the
knowledge about fundamental values are the primal for the students.
As per my analysis, the values and moral studies should also provide by the schools to
their students by maintaining a positive environment in the school. All the schools needs to
maintain a good infrastructure. If the should develop the environment and its policies in such a
way so that the environment of the school can provide the students a great understanding about
the good values and morals. For this purpose, the school need to involve the values like
maintaining trust, faith etc. in the school environment.
I find some similarity between education and value teaching like, they both have aim to
give advantage to society and state. Regular education and faith base school leads in developing
the logical power of individual because here learning is given on the basis of facts and rationale
logics. In my opinion Value based learning and education both put positive impact of student and
teachers as well. Comprehensive education system as well as faith based teaching impact by the
intelligence capacity of the student and student heritage. But the barrier can be resolve with
effective teaching style. Environment plays a crucial role in both learning style as supportive
system, social, emotional support can removes the obstacle of learning process. General
education is a dynamic teaching where learning get change with different courses, same as faith
learning has. Faith teaching school try to encourage more good habit if one is received.
Further, I also find that Students who receive faith based education gets more advantage
as compare of public education. There are mainly five traits namely, interest level of teacher in

student, level of school violence, time spend to done home wok complete, school discipline,
friendliness, harmony. These students have shown more likelihood in commit themselves in
more courses, owns more good habits, high level of dedication, punctuality as well. Rationale
trust level in faith school seems than a general education system. This comparison clearly shows
that faith based learning provides more long term improvement because, it works on wholistic
development of student. I think Teacher of these schools should take education as their moral
duty which impact the core value of student as well.
