A Close-up on SSEHV

Good education is the foundation of happy and healthy societies.

In a world of rapid change, increasing pluralism and global insecurity, the need for shared values and common principles is greater than it has ever been before.

To reach a state of harmony, well-being and happiness at personal, family and societal levels, we need to infuse values in education from the earliest years of the child’s life.

Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV) is being gradually and successfully adopted worldwide. It offers an educational theory that brings together concepts - and mainly practices – rooted in the values of Truth, Right Conduct, Love, Peace and Non-violence. Its focus is to foster harmony through education.

Furthermore, the program equips the children with the ideals, life skills and human virtues, that will allow them to live in harmony with themselves and others, aware of the fact that, “Ideals and values remain a perennial inspiration to the whole of mankind.

In recent years, events experienced and changes taking place across the globe have challenged the current models of education by confronting them with issues such as:

  • lack of meaning, purpose, motivation and happiness in life;
  • weakening of social cohesion and solidarity among people;
  • environmental problems;
  • lack of moral values;
  • global threats and insecurity.

Challenges such as these call for a new and more comprehensive understanding of the human personality and, as a consequence, a more complete and holistic pedagogy, which places an emphasis on a process of self-understanding and self-development.

Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV), is a simply structured educational program for teachers, parents and children that cultivates and promotes the universal Human Values common to all cultures and creeds.
