V4C:Values For Children Values education has a major impact on education quality Dr Brian Metters - 27 March 2016 

Summary Moral education is an essential component of quality education, but often sadly lacking from the curriculum in developing countries. In our earlier paper we have highlighted cognitive, social, and moral outcomes as part of a Framework For Quality Education, and now we offer some guidance and a process for providing regular and meaningful lessons on the moral aspects of education. The V4C-Values For Children process is unique to Nepal Schools Aid and to Nepal. We developed it in 2011 after observing and being trained in the globally recognised P4CPhilosophy For Children process by the SAPERE (UK) organisation. We have since applied it to 200 Kathmandu schools and approximately 2000 teachers. When the lessons relate to a school citizenship chart comprising a set of agreed values for the school, the behaviour changes in children are easily observable.
