Assertion (A) : Value education is not relevant to higher education as students have already acquired basic moral understanding.
Reason (R) : Higher Education involves preparing learners for professional responsibilities, social participation and ethical decision making.
(A) is false but (R) is true
Value education aims to develop ethical judgement, social responsibility, empathy and integrity. It is a lifelong process and does not end with school. National policies on education and UGC guidelines stress value education at the university level because students there face complex professional and civic choices that require mature moral reasoning, not just the basic moral understanding gained in childhood.
Assertion (A) says value education is not relevant to higher education because students already have basic moral understanding. This is false: basic morals are not enough for issues like research ethics, professional codes, corruption, environmental responsibility and social justice, so value education remains highly relevant in higher education. Reason (R) says higher education prepares learners for professional responsibilities, social participation and ethical decision making. This is a true description of the aims of higher education.
Since (A) is false, any choice saying both statements are true, with or without (R) explaining (A), fails. The choice that (A) is true and (R) is false reverses the actual position. In fact (R) supports the opposite of (A): because higher education involves ethical decision making, value education is necessary at this stage.
Hence, (A) is false but (R) is true.
