Abstract: 

Change is the law of nature. Every aspect of nature is subject to change. Education is no exception. In the past the aim of education was to attain liberation, earning a livelihood was secondary. Therefore it consisted of values and quality in that order. In the modern age owing to technological advancement, industrialisation, consumerism etc. The role of education is reversed. Earning a livelihood has gained precedence over everything else. Role of society, parents, teachers and teacher educators thus need to be reconditioned. The quality has gained more importance and values are neglected causing the present chaos. The remedy lies in restoring the role of values in education while maintaining the quality. NCERT has recognised five cardinal values-Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Non violence that encompass all human values. Teachers are the future nation builders, they have an important role to play in the social transformation process
