DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Explanation

Value education aims at cultivating attitudes, ethics and character, so it is affective and value-centred rather than a store of facts.

Statement 1 is incorrect because value education is not knowledge based or information oriented; that description fits cognitive academic subjects.

Statement 2 is correct because nurturing honesty, empathy and responsibility supports the holistic growth of the learner.

Holistic development covers intellectual, emotional, social and moral dimensions taken together.

Mere transmission of information cannot build values; internalisation and practice are essential.

Value education is best woven across the whole curriculum rather than taught as one isolated subject.
