“If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. He needs education to turn him around,” rightly says Jim Rohn. In more recent times, Educational institutions have been pressurized to keep up the ethos and values. Is it the responsibility of schools and colleges to impart values? Are values vital for life skills? Or can we conveniently ignore our responsibility stating, it is not our concern as it is vested to family and society. The uncertain and aggressive world we live in today is an outcome of the moving away from ideals to extreme practicality. It’s not my business or concern is the popular mantra enfolded by many. This conceptual paper is an attempt to showcase the problems faced by teenagers in this contemporary world. Elucidate what are right values, roles and responsibilities of educators, how values can be imparted through subjects, relationship between values and life skills, finally ways in which values can be imparted.
