The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) also brought out a Framework on ‘Education for Values in Schools’ which emphasizes on the moral education for children. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) stipulates that schools affiliated to it are required to assess students in ‘Education in Moral and Spiritual Values’ upto Class X.
