Where else it also makes them learn values like discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, sacrifice, and accountability.

VALUE BASED EDUCATION
The Phrase 'Value Based Education', in wide use in present times comes closest in meaning to the Sanskrit word 'Vidya' as it was used by the Gurus or preceptors of ancient India.
'Vid -ya' means that which illumines.
As such, it was identified with knowledge that illumines the mind and soul.
Since the imparting of knowledge was the aim of education, over a period of time, education also came to be known as 'Vidya'. But, the highest goal of Vidya as visualized by the seers and seekers was to understand the Ultimate Truth or Reality. The more practical aspects of 'education' involved alongside intellectual training, the laying of a moral foundation which helped to make the individual a good citizen who was conscious of his innate strength In the normal course, Education is a three fold process.
It imparts general and specific information, teaches skills and inculcates values.

ART AND CRAFT
Teaching the trainees about art is a good idea—here's why:
⁘ It's been proven that early exposure to visual art, music, or drama promotes activity in the brain.
⁘ Art helps trainees to understand other subjects much more clearly—from math and science, to language arts and geography.
⁘ Art nurtures inventiveness as it engages trainees in a process that aids in the development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation.
⁘ Participating in art activities helps trainees to gain the tools necessary for understanding human experience, adapting to and respecting others' ways of working and thinking, developing creative problem-solving skills, and communicating thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways.

DEBATES AND DECLAMATION
They are commonly employed as tools for educators as well as a means for structuring formal discussions. Both require considerable skill in rhetoric and reasoning, as well as clear and confident oral presentation. Debate and declamation competitions are popular in academics. Usually, teams are put together to compete for a larger prize. In debate, teams usually are given a particular topic to debate, are assigned a standpoint, and are asked to argue against the other team. They are constrained by a variety of rules and regulations, including a time period. In declamation competitions, trainees are usually asked to read a classic speech composed by a famous historical figure. Trainees recite the speech for power and effect and are judged on the oratorical success of their recitation.

PLAYS AND MONO-DRAMA
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance. We are in exciting times in relation to education. A Curriculum for Excellence is beginning to give schools the chance to experiment and try out different ways of doing learning. There is real encouragement to develop exciting and innovative ways of teaching and learning. It does give the best opportunity for trainees to change things for the better.
