It is widely accepted nowadays that the quality of educational training depends not only on the professional knowledge and skills developed through the university curriculum but also on the values governing students´ performance. Hence, an interesting reflexion would be whether the university can actually contribute to the formation of values in students. I would like to know to what extent can they contribute.
I feel the answer is YES, for two reasons:
1. Individual teachers within the universities have always been a major influence, alongside the family and the peers, on developing values of students.
2. Universities in themselves reflect and embody the values of our society, i.e., universities exist because the society values educations and, furthermore, seeks to have an impact on its future development through education.
