Pfutsero, August 6 (MExN): The Chakhesang Scholars' Forum (CSF) organised a panel discussion on ‘Paradigm Shift from Degree Education to Value-Based Education’ at Pfutsero on August 5 in an attempt to explore ways to improve moral and value education in the Chakhesang areas.
Participants from various academic institutions and professional background and organisations deliberated on the topic at length and had suggested ways to improve quality education and moral values among the children particularly at the foundational level.
CSF Chairman Professor, Dr Zavise Rume in his keynote address said the discussion was organised to gain deeper understanding of the issues confronting the people and the community. He was of the opinion that people are interested in talking about politics and social issues but are not talking about value-based education which is equally important. The rich Naga culture and the indigenous practices that forefathers once practiced are original and can be taught to others, he said and urged the children to practice these traditional values.
Chakhesang Public Organisation President, Vezuhu Keyho also pointed out that any community must progress but while moving forward one must take into consideration the traditional and moral values.
Pannelists for the discussion were Dr Neizo Puro, Asst. Professor, Department of Botany, Nagaland University; Dr. Kewepfuzu Lohe, Asst. Professor and Vice Principal, Baptist College, Sechu Campus; Medozu Mero, former Vice-Principal, Pfutsero College; and Husazu Epao, former Principal of Patkai Christian College.
Earlier the Executive Secretary of the Chakhesang Baptist Church Council, Rev. Dr. Chekrovei Cho-o moderated the discussion which was followed by interactions and discussions.
