The main point were that how we can make the other students learn those moral values and equip them with those the values according to the changing world. In this study, a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to get data through semi-structured interviews with respective students and teachers including directors. This present study demonstrates that except lessons, the extra-curricular activities were considered more important for the development of universal and moral values of the students.
