VALUES-BASED EDUCATION (VbE)
“Values-based Education(VbE) is transforming thousands of schools worldwide. It is a proven method for providing holistic Character Education, which helps young people to be the best versions of themselves - personally, socially and academically. With the advent of AI, the main need for humanity is that we educate young people to embody pro-social character traits and human intelligencies.
Young people need to develop critical, emotional, creative, cognitive, interpersonal, intrapersonal and ethical intelligence, in order to navigate the complexities of life. VbE creates schools that do this, which is helping humanity and our planet to flourish."
Dr Neil Hawkes, Founder of VbE
WHAT IS VbE?
Values-based Education (VbE) is an approach to education for schools and other settings. At its heart, its principles are simple, yet has a profound impact on learners, schools and on the wider community.
VbE has already transformed many schools worldwide, by giving learners access to an ethical vocabulary based on human values, such as respect, justice, integrity, harmony, trust and honesty. The structures below will help you navigate to the areas that will help you to either begin the journey of being values-based or embed it still further.
We believe we are at the foothills of a new era of education, one which is more in tune with our learners, with their needs and with the needs of society for a sustainable, compassionate and peaceful future. Our governing charity, the IVET Foundation, is working to develop this new philosophical framework for education.
