values derived from natural and moral laws. Values have both cognitive and affective aspects,
the former to share them up for better decision-making between two “goods: rather than between
good and evil. Values education involves both academic formations, the educational of the
intellect to know and understands the truths and personal formation, the education of the will to
choose the higher good. That values education is really moral education, and that morality can

have you observed? Perhaps you see a roomful of leaners who behave differently, varying in
sizes, color and ability and are unique in their own respective ways. Look what principle of
individual variation is all about. Here are different types of diversity which include:
